What is CVE-2021-24033?

The react-dev-utils package prior to version 11.0.4 contains a vulnerability where the function getProcessForPort allows user-provided input to be concatenated into a command string that gets executed. This risk is primarily present when developers manually invoke this function with unsanitized input in their custom code. However, usage within the context of react-scripts, a standard part of Create React App projects, does not exploit this vulnerability.

Affected Version(s)

react-dev-utils < 11.0.4

react-dev-utils 11.0.4 < 11.0.4
