Technical details

A Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in the total.js framework due to improper input validation in the 'set' utility function (U.set). The vulnerability is classified as Code Injection (CWE-94), where the 'path' argument of the function can be manipulated to execute arbitrary JavaScript code, such as through the use of eval() or child_process.execSync(). An attacker can exploit this over the network without any prior authentication or user interaction. If successful, the attacker gains the ability to execute system-level commands with the privileges of the Node.js process. The issue is resolved in version 3.4.8.
