{"id":"GHSA-4jrm-c32x-w4jf","summary":"convict vulnerable to Prototype Pollution","details":"### Impact\n\n* An attacker can inject attributes that are used in other components\n* An attacker can override existing attributes with ones that have incompatible type, which may lead to a crash.\n\nThe main use case of Convict is for handling server-side configurations written by the admins owning the servers, and not random users. So it's unlikely that an admin would deliberately sabotage their own server. Still a situation can happen where an admin not knowledgeable about JavaScript could be tricked by an attacker into writing the malicious JavaScript code into some config files.\n\n### Patches\nThe problem is patched in `convict@6.2.4`. Users should upgrade to `convict@6.2.4`.\n\n### Workarounds\nNo way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading\n\n### References\nhttps://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/issues/410\n","aliases":["CVE-2023-0163"],"modified":"2024-11-26T18:58:52Z","published":"2023-01-10T21:50:00Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2023-01-10T21:50:00Z","nvd_published_at":"2024-11-26T12:15:17Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-1321"],"severity":"HIGH"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/security/advisories/GHSA-4jrm-c32x-w4jf"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-0163"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/issues/410"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/commit/fb602fbe1e9f14f2e88ecb8179d0f76466d21ecb"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"convict","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/convict"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.2.4"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2023/01/GHSA-4jrm-c32x-w4jf/GHSA-4jrm-c32x-w4jf.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P"}]}
