CVE-2024-24828 affects Vercel's 'pkg' tool, which bundles Node.js projects into executables. The vulnerability arises because 'pkg' writes native code packages to a predictable, shared directory (/tmp/pkg/*) on Unix systems, allowing a local attacker to replace legitimate executables with malicious ones. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.8) has a low attack complexity and can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability if a user executes the tampered application. There is no patch as 'pkg' is deprecated, and there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion.
