Prototype Pollution in node-forge debug API.

Published 8 Jan 2022 · Updated 7 Jan 2022

Affected package

Affected: <1.0.0
Fixed in: 1.0.0

Update to the fixed version for your release line, for example:npm install node-forge@1.0.0

Details

Impact

The forge.debug API had a potential prototype pollution issue if called with untrusted input. The API was only used for internal debug purposes in a safe way and never documented or advertised. It is suspected that uses of this API, if any exist, would likely not have used untrusted inputs in a vulnerable way.

Patches

The forge.debug API and related functions were removed in 1.0.0.

Workarounds

Don't use the forge.debug API directly or indirectly with untrusted input.

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected node-forge, and gives you the command that fixes it.
