All the vulnerabilities related to the version 5.1.2 of the package
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in Hawk
Hawk is an HTTP authentication scheme providing mechanisms for making authenticated HTTP requests with partial cryptographic verification of the request and response, covering the HTTP method, request URI, host, and optionally the request payload. Hawk used a regular expression to parse Host
HTTP header (Hawk.utils.parseHost()
), which was subject to regular expression DoS attack - meaning each added character in the attacker's input increases the computation time exponentially. parseHost()
was patched in 9.0.1
to use built-in URL
class to parse hostname instead.Hawk.authenticate()
accepts options
argument. If that contains host
and port
, those would be used instead of a call to utils.parseHost()
.
hoek subject to prototype pollution via the clone function.
hoek versions prior to 8.5.1, and 9.x prior to 9.0.3 are vulnerable to prototype pollution in the clone function. If an object with the proto key is passed to clone() the key is converted to a prototype. This issue has been patched in version 9.0.3, and backported to 8.5.1.
Insufficient Entropy in cryptiles
Versions of cryptiles
prior to 4.1.2 are vulnerable to Insufficient Entropy. The randomDigits()
method does not provide sufficient entropy and its generates digits that are not evenly distributed.
Upgrade to version 4.1.2. The package is deprecated and has been moved to @hapi/cryptiles
and it is strongly recommended to use the maintained package.
