CVE-2022-29244high · fixedCVSS 7.5

Packing does not respect root-level ignore files in workspaces

### Impact `npm pack` ignores root-level `.gitignore` & `.npmignore` file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (ie. `--workspaces`, `--workspace=<name>`). Anyone who has run `npm pack` or `npm publish` with workspaces, as of [v7.9.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.9.0) & [v7.13.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.13.0) respectively, may be affected and have published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include. ### Patch - Up

Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource in NPM

An issue was discovered in an npm 5.7.0 2018-02-21 pre-release (marked as "next: 5.7.0" and therefore automatically installed by an "npm upgrade -g npm" command, and also announced in the vendor's blog without mention of pre-release status). It might allow local users to bypass intended filesystem access restrictions because ownerships of /etc and /usr directories are being changed unexpectedly, related to a "correctMkdir" issue.

CVE-2013-4116info · fixed

Local Privilege Escalation in npm

Affected versions of `npm` use predictable temporary file names during archive unpacking. If an attacker can create a symbolic link at the location of one of these temporary file names, the attacker can arbitrarily write to any file that the user which owns the `npm` process has permission to write to, potentially resulting in local privilege escalation. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.3.3 or later.

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.14.6 are vulnerable to an information exposure vulnerability through log files. The CLI supports URLs like `<protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>`. The password value is not redacted and is printed to stdout and also to any generated log files.

npm Vulnerable to Global node_modules Binary Overwrite

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.4 are vulnerable to a Global node_modules Binary Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a `serve` binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a `serve` binary would overwrite the first binary. This will not overwrite system binaries but only binaries put into the global node_modules directory. This b

hive-mcp-barter

Outbound 402 arbitrage agent — Hive Civilization

Probes 402-enabled MCP endpoints, counter-offers below asking, and settles when the spread clears our resale floor. Pure protocol — no DMs, no spam. Attribution headers on every request.

Council provenance: Ad-hoc, user-promoted 2026-04-27 (Tier A position 1).

What this is

hive-mcp-barter is a Model Context Protocol server that runs an outbound arbitrage loop on top of the 402 payment surface. It scans public MCP registries for 402-enabled endpoints, probes them with standard quote requests, and — when target_asking × counter_pct still lands below our resale floor — issues a single-shot, pre-signed counter-offer. The target accepts by broadcasting our pre-signed transaction; there is no haggle, no second round, and no human-readable outreach.

Protocol: MCP 2024-11-05 over Streamable-HTTP / JSON-RPC 2.0
Transport: POST /mcp
Discovery: GET /.well-known/mcp.json
Health: GET /health
Settlement: USDC on Base L2 — real rails, no mock, no simulated
Brand gold: Pantone 1245 C / #C08D23

Tools

Tool	Tier	Description
`barter_discover`	0 (free)	List 402-enabled MCP endpoints from a public registry (glama, smithery, mcp.so) with last-seen asking prices.
`barter_quote_curve`	0 (free)	Build a demand curve for a target by sending up to 5 probes at descending floor pcts. Returns the reservation-price estimate.
`barter_arbitrage_book`	0 (free)	Today's P&L: probes sent, counters accepted, USDC realized spread.

REST endpoints

Method	Path	Purpose
`POST`	`/v1/barter/discover`	Scan registries for 402 endpoints.
`POST`	`/v1/barter/probe`	Send a 402-style quote request to a target.
`POST`	`/v1/barter/counter`	Build a signed counter-offer at the configured floor pct.
`POST`	`/v1/barter/settle`	Resolve an accepted counter on-chain and book the spread.
`GET`	`/v1/barter/ledger`	Running P&L, attempts, wins, spread.
`GET`	`/v1/barter/today`	Today aggregate (Tier 0, free).
`GET`	`/health`	Service health.

Counter-offer envelope

{
  "x402_version": 1,
  "intent": "counter_offer",
  "originator_did": "did:hive:morph",
  "asking_seen_usd": "0.05",
  "offer_usd": "0.0325",

  "attribution": {
    "agent": "hive-mcp-barter",
    "attribution_id": "barter-{uuid}",
    "policy": "single-shot-no-haggle"
  }
}

The pre-signed transaction is the entire commitment. The target accepts by broadcasting; we never have to re-sign on accept.

Resale floor

Category	Our buy floor	Our resell
LLM tokens	$0.000020 / token	$0.000040 / token
Oracle reads	$0.0008 / read	$0.0015 / read
Storage writes	$0.00012 / write	$0.00025 / write
KYC checks	$0.04 / check	$0.08 / check

If target_asking × counter_pct ≤ our_resell × 0.95, we counter. Otherwise we skip — there is no margin.

Risk controls

Cap	Value
Max single counter	$0.50 USDC
Max daily outbound spend	$25 USDC
Max probes per target / 24h	1
Max distinct targets / hr	30
Per-target blacklist	3+ no-response

All caps fail-closed. Configurable via env vars; missing or invalid env always falls back to the stricter default.

Configuration

Env	Required	Default	Notes
`PORT`	no	`3000`
`ENABLE_OUTBOUND`	no	`false`	Default-off. The 5-min cron loop only runs when set to `true`.
`WALLET_ADDRESS`	no	`0x15184…436e`	W1 MONROE on Base.
`USDC_BASE`	no	`0x833589…2913`	USDC contract on Base.
`BASE_RPC`	no	`https://mainnet.base.o
