Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-03-01 01:49:50 UTC 
"Arbitrary filesystem write vulnerability in Yarn before 1.22.0 allows attackers to write to any path on the filesystem and potentially lead to arbitrary code execution by forcing the user to install a malicious package."

Affects <1.22.0.

Fix: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/pull/7831/commits/fc76f230e5d9a8bd37cbbdda1b38e9e19a1db950
