Nx vulnerabilities

Nx from 14.6.0 until 22.7.9 and 23.1.2 creates Unix domain sockets for its daemon and isolated plugin workers in shared temporary locations without owner-only permissions. Another unprivileged local account can connect to a running socket because the transport performs no authentication. The daemon's PROCESS_IN_BACKGROUND request can execute code as the account running Nx. Fixed in versions 22.7.9 and 23.1.2.

Nx is a monorepo solution for TypeScript and polyglot codebases. From 13.10.0 until 22.7.10 and 23.2.1, Nx migration planning reads the nx-migrations.migrations value from a target package manifest without validating that it is a contained relative path. A hostile dependency can supply .. segments or an absolute path, causing the migration archive to write attacker-controlled bytes outside the temporary directory or truncate an existing writable file.

Vulnerability in Nx (versions 20.8.0 to 22.7.7 and 23.0.2) in the self-hosted HTTP remote cache. A malicious cache server can return a crafted tar archive that writes files outside the cache directory, potentially leading to remote code execution.
