  • ❌ body-parser-1.18.2.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

body-parser is Node.js body parsing middleware. body-parser <1.20.3 is vulnerable to denial of service when url encoding is enabled. A malicious actor using a specially crafted payload could flood the server with a large number of requests, resulting in denial of service. This issue is patched in 1.20.3.

CVE-2024-45296

Vulnerable Library - path-to-regexp-0.1.7.tgz

Express style path to RegExp utility

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

• express-4.16.3.tgz (Root Library)
  • ❌ path-to-regexp-0.1.7.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

path-to-regexp turns path strings into a regular expressions. In certain cases, path-to-regexp will output a regular expression that can be exploited to cause poor performance. Because JavaScript is single threaded and regex matching runs on the main thread, poor performance will block the event loop and lead to a DoS. The bad regular expression is generated any time you have two parameters within a single segment, separated by something that is not a period (.). For users of 0.1, upgrade to 0.1.10. All other users should upgrade to 8.0.0.

CVE-2022-24999

Vulnerable Library - qs-6.5.1.tgz

A querystring parser that supports nesting and arrays, with a depth limit

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

• express-4.16.3.tgz (Root Library)
  • ❌ qs-6.5.1.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

qs before 6.10.3, as used in Express before 4.17.3 and other products, allows attackers to cause a Node process hang for an Express application because an __ proto__ key can be used. In many typical Express use cases, an unauthenticated remote attacker can place the attack payload in the query string of the URL that is used to visit the application, such as a[proto]=b&a[proto]&a[length]=100000000. The fix was backported to qs 6.9.7, 6.8.3, 6.7.3, 6.6.1, 6.5.3, 6.4.1, 6.3.3, and 6.2.4 (and therefore Express 4.17.3, which has "deps: [email protected]" in its release description, is not vulnerable).

CVE-2024-29041

Vulnerable Library - express-4.16.3.tgz

Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

• ❌ express-4.16.3.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

Express.js minimalist web framework for node. Versions of Express.js prior to 4.19.0 and all pre-release alpha and beta versions of 5.0 are affected by an open redirect vulnerability using malformed URLs. When a user of Express performs a redirect using a user-provided URL Express performs an encode using encodeurl on the contents before passing it to the location header. This can cause malformed URLs to be evaluated in unexpected ways by common redirect allow list implementations in Express applications, leading to an Open Redirect via bypass of a properly implemented allow list. The main method impacted is res.location() but this is also called from within res.redirect(). The vulnerability is fixed in 4.19.2 and 5.0.0-beta.3.

Vulnerability Details

cookie is a basic HTTP cookie parser and serializer for HTTP servers. The cookie name could be used to set other fields of the cookie, resulting in an unexpected cookie value. A similar escape can be used for path and domain, which could be abused to alter other fields of the cookie. Upgrade to 0.7.0, which updates the validation for name, path, and domain.
