mysql Node.JS Module Vulnerable to Remote Memory Exposure
Versions of mysql
before 2.14.0 are vulnerable to remove memory exposure.
Affected versions of mysql
package allocate and send an uninitialized memory over the network when a number is provided as a password.
Only mysql
running on Node.js versions below 6.0.0 are affected due to a throw added in newer node.js versions.
Proof of Concept:
require('mysql').createConnection({
host: 'localhost',
user: 'user',
password : USERPROVIDEDINPUT, // number
database : 'my_db'
}).connect();
Update to version 2.14.0 or later.
