HighGHSA-5vj8-3v2h-h38v

Remote Code Execution in next

Published 4 Sept 2020 · Updated 28 Apr 2022

Affected package

Affected: >=0.9.9 <5.1.0
Fixed in: 5.1.0

Update to the fixed version for your release line, for example:npm install next@5.1.0

Details

Versions of next prior to 5.1.0 are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution. The /path: route fails to properly sanitize input and passes it to a require() call. This allows attackers to execute JavaScript code on the server. Note that prior version 0.9.9 package next npm package hosted a different utility (0.4.1 being the latest version of that codebase), and this advisory does not apply to those versions.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 5.1.0.

Is GHSA-5vj8-3v2h-h38v in any of your client repos?

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 next, and gives you the command that fixes it.
