CVE-2024-4068

Vulnerable Library - braces-2.3.2.tgz

Bash-like brace expansion, implemented in JavaScript. Safer than other brace expansion libs, with complete support for the Bash 4.3 braces specification, without sacrificing speed.

Library home page: https://registry.npmjs.org/braces/-/braces-2.3.2.tgz

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /node_modules/braces/package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

  • findup-sync-2.0.0.tgz
    • micromatch-3.1.10.tgz
      • ❌ braces-2.3.2.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

The NPM package braces, versions prior to 3.0.3, fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. In lib/parse.js, if a malicious user sends "imbalanced braces" as input, the parsing will enter a loop, which will cause the program to start allocating heap memory without freeing it at any moment of the loop. Eventually, the JavaScript heap limit is reached, and the program will crash.
Mend Note: After conducting a further research, it was concluded that CVE-2024-4068 does not contain a high security risk that reflects the NVD score, but should be kept for users' awareness. Users of braces should follow the fix recommendation as noted.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-2024-4067

Vulnerable Library - micromatch-3.1.10.tgz

Glob matching for javascript/node.js. A drop-in replacement and faster alternative to minimatch and multimatch.

  • findup-sync-2.0.0.tgz
    • ❌ micromatch-3.1.10.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

The NPM package micromatch prior to 4.0.8 is vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). The vulnerability occurs in micromatch.braces() in index.js because the pattern .* will greedily match anything. By passing a malicious payload, the pattern matching will keep backtracking to the input while it doesn't find the closing bracket. As the input size increases, the consumption time will also increase until it causes the application to hang or slow down. There was a merged fix but further testing shows the issue persists. This issue should be mitigated by using a safe pattern that won't start backtracking the regular expression due to greedy matching. This issue was fixed in version 4.0.8.
Mend Note: After conducting a further research, it was concluded that CVE-2024-4067 should not reflect the security risk score in NVD, but will be kept for users' awareness.
