Reachability Analysis

The vulnerable code is unreachable

Vulnerability Details

browserify-sign is a package to duplicate the functionality of node's crypto public key functions, much of this is based on Fedor Indutny's work on indutny/tls.js. An upper bound check issue in dsaVerify function allows an attacker to construct signatures that can be successfully verified by any public key, thus leading to a signature forgery attack. All places in this project that involve DSA verification of user-input signatures will be affected by this vulnerability. This issue has been patched in version 4.2.2.

Vulnerable Libraries - braces-3.0.2.tgz, braces-2.3.2.tgz

Found in HEAD commit: 0dc5f6399caa3378e1374e91179039e2f27bffb8

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

The NPM package braces, versions prior to 3.0.3, fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. In lib/parse.js, if a malicious user sends "imbalanced braces" as input, the parsing will enter a loop, which will cause the program to start allocating heap memory without freeing it at any moment of the loop. Eventually, the JavaScript heap limit is reached, and the program will crash.
Mend Note: After conducting a further research, it was concluded that CVE-2024-4068 does not contain a high security risk that reflects the NVD score, but should be kept for users' awareness. Users of braces should follow the fix recommendation as noted.

CVE-2024-4067

Vulnerable Library - micromatch-3.1.10.tgz

Glob matching for javascript/node.js. A drop-in replacement and faster alternative to minimatch and multimatch.

  • ❌ micromatch-3.1.10.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in HEAD commit: 0dc5f6399caa3378e1374e91179039e2f27bffb8

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

The NPM package micromatch is vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). The vulnerability occurs in micromatch.braces() in index.js because the pattern .* will greedily match anything. By passing a malicious payload, the pattern matching will keep backtracking to the input while it doesn't find the closing bracket. As the input size increases, the consumption time will also increase until it causes the application to hang or slow down. There was a merged fix but further testing shows the issue persists. This issue should be mitigated by using a safe pattern that won't start backtracking the regular expression due to greedy matching.
Mend Note: After conducting a further research, it was concluded that CVE-2024-4067 does not contain a high security risk that reflects the NVD score, but should be kept for users' awareness. Users of micromatch should follow the fix recommendation as noted.
