Description

mobile-icon-resizer resizes large images for use as icons for iOS and Android.

mobile-icon-resizer has a code execution vulnerability in versions before 0.4.3.

mobile-icon-resizer takes an options object as an argument to define the resulting icons as such:

var options = {
  config: './config.js'
}
resize(options, function(err){});

config.js would need to be a file on the filesystem and look something like:

var config = {
  iOS: {
    "images": [
     /* iOS image definitions are not vulnerable */
    ]
  },
  android: {
    "images" : [
      {
        "baseRatio" : "console.log('Executing script as baseRatio property')",
        "folder" : "drawable-ldpi"
      },
      {
        "ratio" : "console.log('Executing script as ratio property')",
        "folder" : "drawable-mdpi"
      },
    /* other android image defintiions ... */
    ]
  }
};

exports = module.exports = config;

The parameters ratio and baseRatio are passed directly to eval(), thus allowing dynamic javascript payloads to be executed.

Recommendation

Update to version 0.4.3 or later.
