Description (CNA)
Locutus brings stdlibs of other programming languages to JavaScript for educational purposes. Prior to version 3.0.0, a remote code execution (RCE) flaw was discovered in the locutus project, specifically within the call_user_func_array function implementation. The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the application's runtime environment. This issue stems from an insecure implementation of the call_user_func_array function (and its wrapper call_user_func), which fails to properly validate all components of a callback array before passing them to eval(). This issue has been patched in version 3.0.0.

A flaw was found in Locutus, a project that brings standard libraries of other programming languages to JavaScript. A remote attacker could exploit an insecure implementation of the `call_user_func_array` function, which fails to properly validate all components of a callback array before passing them to the eval method. This vulnerability allows the attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the application's runtime environment, leading to remote code execution.
