Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime

  • Vulnerable module: inflight
  • Introduced through: sequelize-typescript@2.1.6 and typeorm@0.3.17

Detailed paths

  • Introduced through: nestjs-query@tripss/nestjs-query#0107f6c77d9e65807ccd137800b440ff3055d812 sequelize-typescript@2.1.6 glob@7.2.0 inflight@1.0.6
  • Introduced through: nestjs-query@tripss/nestjs-query#0107f6c77d9e65807ccd137800b440ff3055d812 typeorm@0.3.17 glob@8.1.0 inflight@1.0.6

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

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();

Remediation

There is no fixed version for inflight.

Arbitrary Code Injection

  • Vulnerable module: @nestjs/common
  • Introduced through: @nestjs/common@11.0.9

Detailed paths

  • Introduced through: nestjs-query@tripss/nestjs-query#0107f6c77d9e65807ccd137800b440ff3055d812 @nestjs/common@11.0.9

Overview

@nestjs/common is a Nest - modern, fast, powerful node.js web framework (@common)

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via the FileTypeValidator function due to improper MIME Type Validation. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted payload in the Content-Type header of a request.

Note:

The FileTypeValidator documentation specifically mentions that it is vulnerable and provides security enhancement recommendations.

Remediation

There is no fixed version for @nestjs/common.
