The tool is highly popular in the Node Package Manager (npm) registry, with an average of nearly 50 million weekly downloads. It is used for inter-service communication, in real-time applications, and for efficient storage of structured data in databases and cloud environments. In a report on Friday, application security company Endor Labs says that the remote code execution vulnerability (RCE) in protobuf.js is caused by unsafe dynamic code generation.
