CVE-2023-38704 – import-in-the-middle allows unsanitized user controlled input in module generation

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-38704

import-in-the-middle is a module loading interceptor specifically for ESM modules. The import-in-the-middle loader works by generating a wrapper module on the fly. The wrapper uses the module specifier to load the original module and add some wrapping code. Prior to version 1.4.2, it allows for remote code execution in cases where an application passes user-supplied input directly to the `import()` function. This vulnerability has been patched in import-in-the-middle version 1.4.2. Some workarounds are available. • https://github.com/DataDog/import-in-the-middle/commit/2531cdd9d1d73f9eaa87c16967f60cb276c1971b https://github.com/DataDog/import-in-the-middle/security/advisories/GHSA-5r27-rw8r-7967 • CWE-20: Improper Input Validation •
