Summary
grunt vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that Grunt was not properly loading YAML files before parsing them. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-7729)

It was discovered that Grunt was not properly handling symbolic links when performing file copy operations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-0436)

It was discovered that there was a race condition in the Grunt file copy function, which could lead to an arbitrary file write. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a local privilege escalation attack or to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1537)
