Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The sharp npm package versions below 0.35.5 are affected by a memory-related vulnerability in its bundled librsvg dependency, which the source says can lead to remote code execution on glibc-based Linux under certain runtime conditions. The source does not describe what an attacker must do beforehand, such as supplying a crafted SVG image, though sharp's decoding of SVG images is the relevant path. Upgrade sharp to 0.35.5 or later, which provides librsvg 2.63.2; users with a globally installed librsvg should move to librsvg 2.63.2.
