CVE-2026-26974 Details
Description
Slyde is a program that creates animated presentations from XML. In versions 0.0.4 and below, Node.js automatically imports **/*.plugin.{js,mjs} files including those from node_modules, so any malicious package with a .plugin.js file can execute arbitrary code when installed or required. All projects using this loading behavior are affected, especially those installing untrusted packages. This issue has been fixed in version 0.0.5. To workaround this issue, users can audit and restrict which packages are installed in node_modules.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Slyde versions prior to 0.0.4. The issue arises because Node.js automatically imports files with the extensions .plugin.js or .plugin.mjs from the node_modules directory. This behavior allows any malicious package containing a .plugin.js file to execute arbitrary code when the package is installed or required. The vulnerability affects all projects that utilize this loading behavior, particularly those that install untrusted packages.
Users can upgrade to Slyde version 0.0.5 or later to address this vulnerability. Additionally, it is recommended to audit and restrict which packages are installed in the node_modules directory.
