Conversation
Remediate CVE-2024-29041 by updating express from ^4.13.4 to ^4.19.2. This fixes an open redirect vulnerability in Express.js versions prior to 4.19.0 where malformed URLs could be evaluated in unexpected ways by redirect allow list implementations, potentially bypassing security controls. The vulnerability affects the res.location() and res.redirect() methods. Express 4.19.2 and later include the security fix for this issue. No code changes required - this is a safe dependency version bump that maintains full backward compatibility while fixing the CVE-2024-29041 vulnerability.
