How to fix?

Upgrade gatsby-transformer-remark to version 6.10.0 or higher.

Overview

gatsby-transformer-remark is a Gatsby transformer plugin for Markdown using the Remark library and ecosystem

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure via local file inclusion in __file-code-frame or __original-stack-frame, when gatsby develop is in use and exposed to the internet.

NOTE: By default gatsby develop is only accessible via the localhost 127.0.0.1, and one would need to intentionally expose the server to other interfaces to exploit this vulnerability by using server options such as --host 0.0.0.0, -H 0.0.0.0, or the GATSBY_HOST=0.0.0.0 environment variable.

PoC

# Local File Inclusion in __file-code-frame

# Local File Inclusion in __original-stack-frame
$ curl "http://127.0.0.1:8000/__original-stack-frame?moduleId=/etc/hosts&lineNumber=1&skipSourceMap=1"
