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

Express style path to RegExp utility

Dependency Hierarchy:

• express-4.18.2.tgz (Root Library)
  • ❌ path-to-regexp-0.1.7.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: master

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.

Vulnerable Library - express-4.18.2.tgz

Dependency Hierarchy:

• ❌ express-4.18.2.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: master

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.
