Root Cause Analysis
The advisory describes opencv.js as a malicious package designed to hijack environment variables, but no specific code samples or function-level details are provided in the available vulnerability reports. The CWE-506 classification indicates embedded malicious code, which typically involves unauthorized environment variable access (e.g., via Node.js's process.env
), but without access to the unpublished package's source code, commit diffs, or patch details, we cannot identify specific functions with high confidence. The lack of GitHub patch information and commit diff data further limits the ability to pinpoint vulnerable functions.
