CVE-2018-6342: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

December 31, 2018 (updated October 9, 2019)

react-dev-utils on Windows allows developers to run a local webserver for accepting various commands, including a command to launch an editor. The input to that command was not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker who can make a network request to the server (either via CSRF or by direct request) to execute arbitrary commands on the targeted system.
