There is no fixed version for total.js.
Overview
total.js is a framework for Node.js platfrom written in pure JavaScript similar to PHP's Laravel or Python's Django or ASP.NET MVC. It can be used as web, desktop, service or IoT application.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control. An authenticated user with limited privileges can get access to a resource that they do not own by calling the associated API. The application correctly manages privileges only for the front-end resource path, and not for API requests. This leads to vertical and horizontal privilege escalation.
