Oracle Linux: CVE-2022-29244: ELSA-2022-6595: nodejs and nodejs-nodemon security and bug fix update (MODERATE) (Multiple Advisories)

Description

npm pack ignores root-level .gitignore and .npmignore file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (ie. `--workspaces`, `--workspace=<name>`). Anyone who has run `npm pack` or `npm publish` inside a workspace, as of v7.9.0 and v7.13.0 respectively, may be affected and have published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include. Users should upgrade to the latest, patched version of npm v8.11.0, run: npm i -g npm@latest . Node.js versions v16.15.1, v17.19.1, and v18.3.0 include the patched v8.11.0 version of npm. A flaw was found in npm. This security issue occurs because the npm pack ignores root-level ".gitignore" and ".npmignore" file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (for example, --workspaces, --workspace=<name>). Anyone who has run 'npm pack' or 'npm publish' inside a workspace has published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include. This flaw exposes sensitive information to an unauthorized user or an attacker.
