QID 994765: NodeJs (Npm) Security Update for import-in-the-middle (GHSA-5r27-rw8r-7967)

The import-in-the-middle loader works by generating a wrapper module on the fly. The wrapper uses the module specifier to load the original module and add some wrapping code. It allows for remote code execution in cases where an application passes user-supplied input directly to an import() function.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
