CVE-2026-73231
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.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.21%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 10
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation75 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution90 %
Acceso local (AV:L) sin interacción (UI:N) con privilegios de usuario (PR:L) permite escalada de privilegios mediante templates maliciosos en faker.helpers.fake que acceden al constructor Function, ejecutando código arbitrario.
