### Arbitrary File Write
3737

38-
Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.3 are vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Write. It fails to prevent access to folders outside of the intended `node_modules` folder through the `bin` field. A properly constructed entry in the package.json `bin` field would allow a package publisher to modify and/or gain access to arbitrary files on a users system when the package is installed. It is only possible to affect files that the user running `npm install` has access to.

A properly constructed entry in the `package.json` bin field would allow a package publisher to create files on a user's system when the package is installed. It is only possible to affect files that the user running `npm install` has access to and it is not possible to overwrite files that already exist on disk.
