CVE-2023-45133 – Babel vulnerable to arbitrary code execution when compiling specifically crafted malicious code

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-45133

Babel is a compiler for writingJavaScript. In `@babel/traverse` prior to versions 7.23.2 and 8.0.0-alpha.4 and all versions of `babel-traverse`, using Babel to compile code that was specifically crafted by an attacker can lead to arbitrary code execution during compilation, when using plugins that rely on the `path.evaluate()`or `path.evaluateTruthy()` internal Babel methods. Known affected plugins are `@babel/plugin-transform-runtime`; `@babel/preset-env` when using its `useBuiltIns` option; and any "polyfill provider" plugin that depends on `@babel/helper-define-polyfill-provider`, such as `babel-plugin-polyfill-corejs3`, `babel-plugin-polyfill-corejs2`, `babel-plugin-polyfill-es-shims`, `babel-plugin-polyfill-regenerator`. No other plugins under the `@babel/` namespace are impacted, but third-party plugins might be. Users that only compile trusted code are not impacted. • https://github.com/babel/babel/commit/b13376b346946e3f62fc0848c1d2a23223314c82 https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/16033 https://github.com/babel/babel/releases/tag/v7.23.2 https://github.com/babel/babel/releases/tag/v8.0.0-alpha.4 https://github.com/babel/babel/security/advisories/GHSA-67hx-6x53-jw92 https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/10/msg00026.html https://www.debian.org/security/2023/dsa-5528 • CWE-184: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs CWE-697: Incorrect Comparison •
