Critical Vulnerability in NestJS Devtools: Localhost RCE via Sandbox Escape
A flawed sandbox in @nestjs/devtools-integration lets attackers run code on your machine via CSRF, leading to full Remote Code Execution (RCE).
path-is-inside
Advanced tools
The path-is-inside npm package is used to determine if one path is inside another path. This can be useful for ensuring that a file is within a certain directory structure, for security checks to prevent directory traversal attacks, or for validating file locations in a project.
Check if a path is inside another path
This feature allows you to check if one path is contained within another path. It returns a boolean value indicating the result.
const pathIsInside = require('path-is-inside');
let inside = pathIsInside('/the/path', '/the'); // true
let notInside = pathIsInside('/the/path', '/another/path'); // false
This package provides similar functionality to path-is-inside, allowing you to check if one path is inside another. It is a lightweight package with minimal dependencies.
is-subdir is another package that checks if a directory is a subdirectory of another. It compares to path-is-inside by offering a similar check but may have different implementation details or dependencies.
