CVE-2022-24999

Vulnerable Library - qs-4.0.0.tgz

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

Library home page: https://registry.npmjs.org/qs/-/qs-4.0.0.tgz

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /node_modules/express/node_modules/qs/package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

• express-4.13.4.tgz (Root Library)
  • ❌ qs-4.0.0.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in HEAD commit: d4b1a638cfba6a686bca29d893e8936e2310ecd8

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: qs@6.9.7" in its release description, is not vulnerable).
