"CVE-2013-4116"
],
"details": "Affected versions of `npm` use predictable temporary file names during archive unpacking. If an attacker can create a symbolic link at the location of one of these temporary file names, the attacker can arbitrarily write to any file that the user which owns the `npm` process has permission to write to, potentially resulting in local privilege escalation.\n\n\n\n## Recommendation\n\nUpdate to version 1.3.3 or later.",
