{"id":"GHSA-x2w5-725j-gf2g","summary":"Prototype Pollution in convict","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\n\nThe problem is patched in `convict@6.2.3`. Users should upgrade to `convict@6.2.3`.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nNo way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading\n\n### References\n\n* https://www.huntr.dev/bounties/1-npm-convict/\n* #384\n* 3b86be087d8f14681a9c889d45da7fe3ad9cd880\n* 1ea0ab19c5208f66509e1c43b0d0f21c1fd29b75\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory: \nadd your question as a comment in #384 \n","aliases":["CVE-2022-22143","SNYK-JS-CONVICT-2340604"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:49:19.385784063Z","published":"2022-04-20T16:21:03Z","database_specific":{"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2022-04-20T16:21:03Z","nvd_published_at":"2022-05-01T16:15:00Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-1321"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/security/advisories/GHSA-x2w5-725j-gf2g"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-22143"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/pull/384"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/commit/3b86be087d8f14681a9c889d45da7fe3ad9cd880"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/blob/5eb1314f85346760a3c31cb14510f2f0af11d0d3/packages/convict/src/main.js%23L569"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/releases/tag/v6.2.2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-CONVICT-2340604"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.huntr.dev/bounties/1-npm-convict"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"convict","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/convict"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.2.3"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2022/04/GHSA-x2w5-725j-gf2g/GHSA-x2w5-725j-gf2g.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"}]}
