npm install sequelize@5.8.11Details
Affected versions of sequelize are vulnerable to SQL Injection. The package fails to sanitize JSON path keys in the MariaDB and MySQL dialects, which may allow attackers to inject SQL statements and execute arbitrary SQL queries.
Recommendation
If you are using sequelize 5.x, upgrade to version 5.8.11 or later.
If you are using sequelize 4.x, upgrade to version 4.44.3 or later.
If you are using sequelize 3.x, upgrade to version 3.35.1 or later.
Is GHSA-j9xp-92vc-559j in any of your client repos?
Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected sequelize, and gives you the command that fixes it.
