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.

npm CLI exposing sensitive information through logs

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

google-ads-mcp

MCP server for Google Ads — diagnose spend efficiency, impression share, and asset performance from Claude.

22 tools across campaigns, keywords, RSAs, assets, audiences, geo/device splits, impression share, auction insights, and budget pacing — plus a raw GAQL escape hatch. Built for B2B paid search teams and agencies running real diagnosis, not just dashboard-style "list my campaigns" queries.

Why this exists

Most Google Ads MCP servers stop at "list campaigns + basic metrics." This one goes after the questions paid search teams actually ask: which RSA assets are labeled LOW so I can replace them, which keywords burn budget with zero conversions, who am I losing impression share to in auction insights, what's my mobile vs. desktop CPA gap, which campaigns are budget-limited right now. Those are the levers you pull to fix performance — and they're all first-class tools here.

Differentiated from the official googleads/google-ads-mcp: ships RSA asset performance labels, auction insights, impression share analysis, geo/device splits, audience targeting inspection, and budget pacing.

Example prompts

Once installed, ask Claude things like:

"What's my impression share vs competitors this month? Who am I most often losing to?"
"Show all RSA assets with LOW performance labels so I can replace them."
"Which keywords are spending the most with zero conversions in the last 30 days?"
"What's my mobile vs. desktop CPA difference across all campaigns?"
"Are any campaigns budget-limited right now? Show Lost IS (Budget)."
"List my remarketing audiences and tell me which ones are large enough to target in Search."
