CVE-2021-23384 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade koa-remove-trailing-slashes to version 2.0.2 or higher.
Overview
koa-remove-trailing-slashes is a Koa middleware that makes sure all requests does not have trailing slashes
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect via the use of trailing double slashes in the URL when accessing the vulnerable endpoint (such as https://example.com//attacker.example/). The vulnerable code is in index.js::removeTrailingSlashes(), as the web server uses relative URLs instead of absolute URLs.
PoC
// Run the code below to set up a vulnerable server instance
// Then access http://localhost:3000///example.com
const Koa = require('koa');
const removeTrailingSlashes = require('koa-remove-trailing-slashes');
const app = new Koa();
app.use(removeTrailingSlashes());
app.use(ctx => {
ctx.body = 'Hello World';
});
app.listen(3000);
