More information:

It was discovered that there was an issue in node-ini, a .ini format parser and serializer for Node.js, where an application could be exploited by a malicious input file.

• CVE-2020-7788

  This affects the package ini before 1.3.6. If an attacker submits a malicious INI file to an application that parses it with ini.parse, they will pollute the prototype on the application. This can be exploited further depending on the context.

We recommend that you upgrade your node-ini packages.
