with npm of Node.js, in order to run code.
Impacted products: Node.js Modules not comprehensive.
Severity: 2/4.

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The Node.js product uses npm to manage packages.
However, a malicious package can contain scripts, which are run
during the installation, or during its usage.

scripts to inject itself in new packages published on the internet.
An attacker can therefore invite the victim to install a malicious
package with npm of Node.js, in order to run code.
