CVE-2020-6836: Code Injection

January 11, 2020 (updated January 22, 2020)

grammar-parser.jison in the hot-formula-parser package for Node.js is vulnerable to arbitrary code injection. The package fails to sanitize values passed to the parse function and concatenates them in an eval call. If a value of the formula is taken from user-controlled input, it may allow attackers to run arbitrary commands on the server.
