Description

Versions of the package dom-iterator before 1.0.1 are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution due to use of the Function constructor without complete input sanitization. Function generates a new function body and thus care must be given to ensure that the inputs to Function are not attacker-controlled.

Recommendation

  • Affected version(s): <= 1.0.0
  • Patched version(s): 1.0.1
