Core: Replace ip function with a small helper function to address security concerns #26073

cosieLq · 2024-02-16T18:01:37Z

What I did

I've listened to the suggestion from #26025 and added a small helper function to replace ip.address, so that we can remove the insecure package ip. What the helper function does is essentially the same as ip.address: it returns the first remotely accessible IPv4 address or otherwise the loopback.

code/lib/core-server/src/utils/server-address.ts

+  const allIps = Object.values(os.networkInterfaces()).flat();
+  const allFilteredIps = allIps.filter((ip) => ip && ip.family === 'IPv4' && !ip.internal);
+
+  return allFilteredIps.length ? allFilteredIps[0]?.address : '127.0.0.1';


Isn't 0.0.0.0 better suited for the else part?

Good point. I've changed this to 0.0.0.0.

+
+  return allFilteredIps.length ? allFilteredIps[0]?.address : '0.0.0.0';


I am curious whether returning 0.0.0.0 makes sense. Can the Storybook server be reached in the browser when 0.0.0.0 is used? If not, I would rather return null/undefined and handle it appropriately in the getServerAddresses function. It should return networkAddress: undefined. In this case, the network address shouldn't be logged at all to the user's console, after the server starts.

I'm not sure which returned value is better. The Storybook server is reachable via 0.0.0.0 in my browsers. Maybe it also depends on how to interpret 'On your network' in the log.

@cosieLq Thank you so much for your contribution!

But I think we can close this. It seems that the security vulnerability was resolved in ip. A new version of ip was just released a couple of hours ago.

valentinpalkovic · 2024-02-19T08:46:49Z

Superseded by #26086

@cosieLq Thank you so much for your contribution!

Sure! But I sort of agree with the suggestion from #26025 . Since Storybook uses only part of one function from ip, maybe it's worthy of thinking about whether to keep it as a dependency or just replace it.

tony19 · 2024-02-21T11:49:57Z

FYI, ip 2.0.1 didn't completely fix the bug, and a new CVE might be coming. Maybe we should reconsider this PR to factor out the unstable module, especially since Storybook only uses one of its functions that can easily be recreated.

ouuan · 2024-02-21T11:59:16Z

FYI, the usage here is not affected by CVE-2023-42282, because your network interface will not provide malformed addresses. However, the current implementation of the ip.address() function is incorrect, see indutny/node-ip#61. It returns public addresses when the argument is 'private' and vice-versa. It's documented to return a private address when no argument is provided but actually it's returning a public address instead.

xfournet · 2024-05-29T15:23:49Z

Since we have again a security issue with ip (see CVE-2024-29415), wouldn't be the time to re-open this PR to definitively get rid off this lib ?
in my (relatively large) codebase only storybook still use this dependency

hobadams · 2024-06-03T10:15:43Z

Can this be re-opened? I'm still getting this issue in storybook 8.1.5. Is there a way to work around this without an official release?

Shaun1 · 2024-06-03T15:57:07Z

Also still getting this issue and the (automated) way npm wants to resolve it is to downgrade to storybook@6.5.16.

This needs to be fixed if we are to be comfortable using storybook in a production environment.

valentinpalkovic · 2024-06-03T22:10:20Z

The original repo got deleted, so I can't reopen the PR. Is someone willing to put together a new PR?

tony19 · 2024-06-04T03:17:51Z

@valentinpalkovic The PR's branch could still be checked out locally. I've copied the PR as-is to #27529.
