An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-73035 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: raineorshine npm-check-updates. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73035/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73035/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-73035","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73035/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-73035","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xm8c-hvjf-c5q9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"npm dependency checker","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject terminal escape sequences via package metadata, allowing output manipulation when developers use specific formatting options.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-150","name":"Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences"}],"description":"npm-check-updates through 23.0.2, fixed in commit b554b84, contains a terminal escape sequence injection vulnerability that allows an attacker to embed arbitrary terminal control characters in a dependency's package.json homepage or repository URL fields.
