node-openssl Project node-openssl

The openssl (aka node-openssl) NPM package through 2.0.0 was characterized as "a nonsense wrapper with no real purpose" by its author, and accepts an opts argument that contains a verb field (used for command execution). NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

node-openssl was a malicious module published with the intent to hijack environment variables. It has been unpublished by npm.
