8.4 HIGH

Local vector because attacker must control Node.js process inputs; PR:N since no OS privileges required, only application-layer access to bestzip parameters.

DescriptionCVE.org

bestzip versions 2.2.6 and 3.0.2 contain an argument injection vulnerability in the nativeZip function that allows attackers to inject arbitrary arguments to the Info-ZIP backend. Attackers can supply a malicious destination path combined with crafted source entries to execute arbitrary commands with Node.js process privileges. Fixed in 2.2.7 and 3.0.3.

AnalysisAI

Argument injection in bestzip's nativeZip function (versions 2.2.6 and 3.0.2) allows attackers who control the destination path or source file entries to inject arbitrary flags into the underlying Info-ZIP binary, achieving command execution at the Node.js process privilege level. Two distinct injection vectors exist: passing a flag-like string such as -n as the destination consumes the -- argument separator, allowing source entries like --unzip-command to be interpreted as zip binary flags that trigger shell execution during archive validation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that an application calls bestzip's nativeZip backend (not the JavaScript fallback) with attacker-controlled values for either the destination path or the source file list. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 with AV:L reflects that exploitation requires local influence over the Node.js process inputs rather than a raw network attack surface. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to bestzip 2.2.7 (for 2.x users) or 3.0.3 (for 3.x users) via `npm update bestzip` or by pinning the version in package.json; these are the vendor-released patched versions documented in https://github.com/nfriedly/node-bestzip/security/advisories/GHSA-xhwx-rch4-ph2v and https://github.com/nfriedly/node-bestzip/security/advisories/GHSA-p87m-9567-rgcc. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all internal Node.js applications and dependencies that include bestzip 2.2.6 or 3.0.2 using dependency scanning tools (npm audit, Snyk, or equivalent SBOM analysis). …
