AI-Generated

The Faker library for Java, prior to version 10.5.0, contains a vulnerability in the faker.helpers.fake method that allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code by manipulating fake templates. This could lead to severe security breaches, including unauthorized access to sensitive data or system compromise. Developers using affected versions of Faker should prioritize upgrading to version 10.5.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

Faker generates massive amounts of fake data in the browser and Node.js. Prior to 10.5.0, the faker.helpers.fake method in src/modules/helpers/eval.ts allows attacker-controlled fake templates to access the Function constructor through fakeEval.resolveProperty when a function returns another function, enabling arbitrary JavaScript code execution. This issue is fixed in version 10.5.0.
