{"id":"CVE-2026-73035","summary":"npm-check-updates 23.0.2 Terminal Injection via Unsanitized Escape Sequences","details":"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. When a developer runs ncu with the --format homepage or --format repo option, unfiltered escape sequences are written directly to the terminal, enabling malicious output manipulation or other terminal-dependent effects.","modified":"2026-08-13T03:51:51.808340663Z","published":"2026-08-10T20:19:40.888Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"VulnCheck","cwe_ids":["CWE-150"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/73xxx/CVE-2026-73035.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/73xxx/CVE-2026-73035.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-73035"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/npm-check-updates-terminal-injection-via-unsanitized-escape-sequences"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/raineorshine/npm-check-updates/pull/1994"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/raineorshine/npm-check-updates/commit/b554b84848fc0b08a9d2b3d3db15e351387168cf"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/raineorshine/npm-check-updates"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://github.com/raineorshine/npm-check-updates/issues/1988"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/raineorshine/npm-check-updates","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4448155d65695b47d8794ea828ffa3d30e5c5b3e"},{"fixed":"b554b84848fc0b08a9d2b3d3db15e351387168cf"}],"database_specific":{"source":["DESCRIPTION","REFERENCES"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"23.0.2"}]}}],"versions":["v23.0.2","v23.0.1","v23.0.0","v22.2.9","v22.2.8","v22.2.7","v22.2.6","v22.2.5","v22.2.3","v22.2.2","v22.2.1","v22.2.0","v22.1.1","v22.1.0","v22.0.1","v22.0.0","v21.0.3","v21.0.2","v21.0.1","v21.0.0","v20.0.2","v20.0.1","v20.0.0","v19.6.6","v19.6.5","v19.6.3","v19.6.2","v19.6.1","v19.6.0","v19.5.0","v19.4.1","v19.4.0","v19.3.2","v19.3.1","v19.3.0","v19.2.1","v19.2.0","v19.1.2","v19.1.1","v19.1.0","v19.0.0","v18.3.1","v18.3.0","v18.2.1","v18.2.0","v18.1.1","v18.1.0","v18.0.3","v18.0.2","v18.0.1","v18.0.0","v17.1.18","v17.1.17","v17.1.16","v17.1.15","v17.1.14","v17.1.13","v17.1.12","v17.1.11","v17.1.10","v17.1.9","v17.1.8","v17.1.7","v17.1.6","v17.1.5","v17.1.4","v17.1.3","v17.1.2","v17.1.1","v17.1.0","v17.0.6","v17.0.5","v17.0.4","v17.0.3","v17.0.2","v17.0.1","v17.0.0","v17.0.0-8","v17.0.0-7","v17.0.0-6","v17.0.0-5","v17.0.0-4","v17.0.0-3","v17.0.0-2","v17.0.0-1","v17.0.0-0","v16.14.12","v16.14.11","v16.14.10","v16.14.9","v16.14.8","v16.14.7","v16.14.6","v16.14.5","v16.14.4","v16.14.3","v16.14.2","v16.14.1","v16.14.0","v16.13.4","v16.13.3","v16.13.2","v16.13.1","v16.13.0","v16.12.3","v16.12.2","v16.12.1","v16.12.0","v16.11.2","v16.11.1","v16.11.0","v16.10.19","v16.10.18","v16.10.17","v16.10.16","v16.10.15","v16.10.14","v16.10.13","v16.10.12","v16.10.11","v16.10.8","v16.10.7","v16.10.6","v16.10.5","v16.10.4","v16.10.3","v16.10.2","v16.10.1","v16.10.0","v16.9.0","v16.8.2","v16.8.1","v16.8.0","v16.7.13","v16.7.12","v16.7.11","v16.7.10","v16.7.9","v16.7.8","v16.7.7","v16.7.6","v16.7.5","v16.7.4","v16.7.3","v16.7.2","v16.7.1","v16.7.0","v16.6.5","v16.6.4","v16.6.3","v16.6.2","v16.6.1","v16.6.0","v16.5.6","v16.5.5","v16.5.4","v16.5.3","v16.5.2","v16.5.1","v16.5.0","v16.4.3","v16.4.2","v16.4.1","v16.4.0","v16.3.25","v16.3.24","v16.3.23","v16.3.22","v16.3.21","v16.3.20","v16.3.19","v16.3.18","v16.3.17","v16.3.16","v16.3.15","v16.3.14","v16.3.13","v16.3.12","v16.3.11","v16.3.10","v16.3.9","v16.3.8","v16.3.7","v16.3.6","v16.3.5","v16.3.4","v16.3.3","v16.3.2","v16.3.1","v16.3.0","v16.2.1","v16.2.0","v16.2.0-0","v16.1.3","v16.1.2","v16.1.1","v16.1.0","v16.0.6","v16.0.5","v16.0.4","v16.0.3","v16.0.2","v16.0.1","v16.0.0","v15.3.4","v15.3.3","v15.3.2","v15.3.1","v15.3.0","v15.2.6","v15.2.5","v15.2.4","v15.2.3","v15.2.2","v15.2.1","v15.2.0","v15.1.0","v15.0.5","v15.0.4","v15.0.3","v15.0.2","v15.0.1","v15.0.0","v14.1.1","v14.1.0","v14.0.1","v14.0.0","v13.1.5","v13.1.4","v13.1.3","v13.1.2","v13.1.1","v13.1.0","v13.0.4","v13.0.3","v13.0.2","v13.0.1","v12.5.12","v12.5.11","v12.5.10","v12.5.9","v12.5.8","v12.5.7","v12.5.6","v12.5.5","v12.5.4","v12.5.3","v12.5.2","v12.5.1","v12.5.0","v12.4.0","v12.3.1","v12.3.0","v12.2.1","v12.2.0","v12.1.0","v12.0.5","v12.0.3","v12.0.2","v12.0.1","v12.0.0","v11.8.5","v11.8.4","v11.8.3","v11.8.2","v11.8.1","v11.8.0","v11.7.1","v11.7.0","v11.6.0","v11.5.13","v11.5.12","v11.5.11","v11.5.10","v11.5.9","v11.5.8","v11.5.7","v11.5.6","v11.5.5","v11.5.4","v11.5.3","v11.5.2","v11.5.1","v11.5.0","v11.4.1","v11.4.0","v11.3.0","v11.2.3","v11.2.2","v11.2.1","v11.2.0","v11.1.11","v11.1.10","v11.1.9","v11.1.8","v11.1.7","v11.1.6","v11.1.5","v11.1.4","v11.1.3","v11.1.2","v11.1.1","v11.1.0","v11.0.2","v11.0.1","v11.0.0","v10.3.1","v10.3.0","v10.2.5","v10.2.4","v10.2.3","v10.2.2","v10.2.1","v10.2.0","v10.1.1","v10.1.0","v10.0.0","v9.2.4","v9.2.3","v9.2.2","v9.2.1","v9.2.0","v9.1.2","v9.1.1","v9.1.0","v9.0.4","v9.0.3","v9.0.2","v9.0.1","v9.0.0","v8.1.1","v8.1.0","v8.0.5","v8.0.4","v8.0.3","v8.0.2","v8.0.1","v7.1.1","v7.1.0","v7.0.4","v7.0.3","v7.0.2","v7.0.1","v7.0.0","v6.0.1","v6.0.0","v5.0.0","v5.0.0-alpha.2","v5.0.0-alpha.1","v4.1.2","v4.1.1","v4.1.0","v4.0.6","v4.0.5","v4.0.4","v4.0.3"
