Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3517)

CWE-ID: CWE-185 - Incorrect Regular Expression

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


2) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43548)

CWE-ID: CWE-350 - Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DNS rebinding attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of octal IP address within the Node.js rebinding protector for --inspec. A remote attacker can resolve the invalid octal address via DNS. When combined with an active --inspect session, such as when using VSCode, an attacker can perform DNS rebinding and execute arbitrary code in client's browser.
