Because the library does not enforce hard upper bounds on total decompressed data or entry counts, a small, maliciously crafted "Gzip Bomb" can be used to fill a server's storage and crash services. Details The node-tar library does not enforce a hard upper bound on archive size or the volume of decompressed data processed during extraction. While the maxReadSize option exists, it only controls internal read chunk sizes (default 16MB) and does not limit the total cumulative bytes written to disk. Specifically, in src/extract.ts, the Unpack stream processes entries as they arrive. There is no total-bytes limit, entry-count limit, or decompression ratio guard. An attacker can provide a TAR header claiming a massive file size (e.g., 10GB) and follow it with highly compressible data (like zeros). node-tar will continue to extract and write this data until the physical disk is exhausted, as it lacks a mechanism to abort based on global resource consumption. PoC The following Proof of Concept demonstrates how a tiny compressed input can be expanded into gigabytes of data on the host machine almost instantly. Create the exploit script: const fs = require('fs'), z = require('zlib'), t = require('tar'); const d = 'dos_test'; if (fs.existsSync(d)) fs.rmSync(d, {recursive:true}); fs.mkdirSync(d); // Build 10GB header const h = Buffer.alloc(512); h.write('payload'); h.write((10*1024**3).toString(8).padStart(11,'0'), 124); h.write('ustar', 257); let s = 256; for(let i=0;i<512;i++) if(i<148||i>155) s+=h[i]; h.write(s.toString(8).padStart(6,'0'), 148); const gz = z.createGzip(); gz.pipe(t.x({cwd: d})); gz.write(h); const b = Buffer.alloc(32 * 1024 * 1024); // 32MB chunks for speed const run = () => { while (gz.write(b)); gz.once('drain', run); }; const monitor = setInterval(() => { try { const bytes = fs.statSync(`${d}/payload`).size; const mb = Math.floor(bytes / (1024 * 1024)); process.stdout.write(`\r[>] Extracted: ${mb} MB`); if (mb > 5000) { console.log('\n[!] VULN CONFIRMED: 5GB+ written from tiny input.'); process.exit(); } } catch {} }, 50); process.on('exit', () => { clearInterval(monitor); console.log('[*] Cleaning up...'); if (fs.existsSync(d)) fs.rmSync(d, {recursive:true, force:true}); }); run(); Run the PoC: node poc.js Observation: You will see the extracted size rapidly climb to 5,000 MB+ within seconds, while the actual data being "sent" through the gzip stream is negligible. Impact This is a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability. It impacts any application or service that uses node-tar to extract archives provided by untrusted users (e.g., npm registries, CI/CD pipelines, or file-sharing platforms). An unauthenticated attacker can send a small payload that expands to consume all available disk space, leading to system-wide failure and service outages.

Applications that update attacker-controlled tar archives can have a worker process pinned indefinitely, causing denial of service. Details The public tar.replace() API scans the existing archive before appending replacement entries. During this scan, it parses each tar header and advances the archive position by the parsed entry size rounded to a 512-byte block boundary. Tar supports base-256 encoded numeric fields. A crafted header can encode the entry size as -512 while still carrying a valid checksum. The replace scan accepts that parsed negative size and uses it in the position-advance calculation. For a size of -512, the computed body skip is -512. The scan then adds the normal 512-byte header step, resulting in no net progress. The scanner repeatedly parses the same header forever and never reaches the append step. This is reachable through the supported package API when the existing archive file is attacker controlled.

Per POSIX pax, a PAX extended header (x) describes the next file entry, not the intermediary extension headers that may sit between the x header and the file it annotates. Because node-tar lets the PAX size override the byte length of an intervening L/K/x header, an attacker can desynchronize node-tar's stream cursor relative to every other mainstream tar implementation (GNU tar, libarchive/bsdtar, Python tarfile, and the now-fixed tar-rs / astral-tokio-tar). The result is a tar parser interpretation differential (CWE-436): a single crafted archive yields a different set of members under node-tar than under the reference tar tools. An attacker can use this to hide a member from one parser while it is visible to another, which defeats security tooling whose scanner and extractor disagree on archive contents (e.g. a malware/secret scanner that lists entries with one library while a downstream step extracts with another). node-tar is one of the most widely deployed JavaScript tar libraries (it backs npm's own package-tarball handling and is a transitive dependency of a very large fraction of the npm ecosystem), so the blast radius for "files that extract differently depending on the tool" is broad. This is the same root cause and fix that was just addressed upstream in the Rust tar ecosystem (tar-rs / astral-tokio-tar); node-tar carries the equivalent defect and has no equivalent guard. Impact CWE-436 Interpretation Conflict / inconsistent tar parsing (the same class as the prior tar "smuggling" advisories GHSA-j5gw-2vrg-8fgx and GHSA-fp55-jw48-c537). A crafted archive can present one logical member list to a tool that lists or scans with node-tar and a different member list to GNU tar / libarchive / Python tarfile (and vice versa). This lets a malicious file be hidden from a scanner that uses a different parser than the eventual extractor, or hidden from node-tar-based inspection while still landing on disk via a system tar. No authentication is required; the only precondition is that a victim parses an attacker-supplied tar with node-tar. Tar archives are routinely fetched from untrusted sources (package registries, user uploads, CI artifacts, container layers). Severity: Medium. Impact is integrity-of-archive-interpretation, not direct RCE; it is a building block for supply-chain / scanner-evasion attacks rather than a standalone code-execution primitive. Vulnerable code (file:line) src/header.ts (compiled to dist/esm/header.js:49 and dist/commonjs/header.js:85 in the published tar@<!-- -->7.5.15): // Header.decode(buf, off, ex, gex) this.size = ex?.size ?? gex?.size ?? decNumber(buf, off + 124, 12) ex is the currently-accumulated PAX local extended header and gex the PAX global header. The size override from ex/gex is applied unconditionally to whatever header is being decoded next — there is no check that the header being decoded is a real file entry rather than an intermediary extension header. src/parse.ts, [CONSUMEHEADER] constructs the next header with the current EX/GEX applied: const header = new Header(chunk, position, this[EX], this[GEX]) and later branches on whether that header is a metadata entry. this[EX] is cleared only in the non-meta (real file) branch: if (entry.meta) { // L / K / x / g metadata entries: this[EX] is left intact here if (entry.size > this.maxMetaEntrySize) { entry.ignore = true this[STATE] = 'ignore' entry.resume() } else if (entry.size > 0) { this[META] = '' entry.on('data', c => (this[META] += c)) this[STATE] = 'meta' } } else { this[EX] = undefined // EX cleared only once a real file entry is reached } When the stream is ordered x (PAX, size=N) -> L (GNU long-name) -> file, the L header is constructed with this[EX] still set, so its size/remain becomes N instead of the L payload's true length. node-tar then consumes N bytes of "metadata" and resumes header parsing at the wrong offset, landing mid-stream. Every other mainstream parser applies the PAX size only to the following file entry, so they stay synchronized. The correct behavior (and the fix shipped upstream in the Rust tar ecosystem) is to not apply PAX size/overrides when the entry being decoded is itself an extension header (L GNU long-name, K GNU long-link, x PAX local, g PAX global). How input reaches the sink tar.list(), tar.extract()/tar.x(), and tar.Parse/tar.Unpack all route every 512-byte header block through Header.decode(...) with the currently-accumulated EX/GEX. Any consumer that parses an attacker-supplied archive — tar.list, tar.extract, or piping into the streaming Parser — reaches the sink. No options need to be enabled; the default code path is affected.

The negative control proves the divergence is caused solely by the PAX size= override being applied to the intermediary L header — when the same archive carries a PAX record without size=, node-tar parses it identically to the reference tools (longname.txt, file_b). Suggested fix When decoding a header, do not apply PAX size (or other PAX overrides) if the header being decoded is itself an extension header. Concretely, in src/parse.ts clear/ignore this[EX] (and this[GEX] for size) when the header's type is ExtendedHeader, GlobalExtendedHeader, NextFileHasLongPath (GNU L), or NextFileHasLongLinkpath (GNU K); equivalently, in Header.decode, gate the ex?.size ?? gex?.size override on the decoded type not being one of those extension types. This mirrors the upstream Rust fix, which guards pax_size with is_gnu_longname || is_gnu_longlink || is_pax_local_extensions || is_pax_global_extensions.

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption Affected range <=7.5.20 Fixed version 7.5.21 CVSS Score 5.3 CVSS Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L Description Summary node-tar (npm tar) contains an uncontrolled-recursion stack-exhaustion DoS in the internal mapHas helper used by filesFilter. When a consumer calls tar.t(...) or tar.x(...) with a non-empty member-selection list, node-tar installs a filter that closes over the recursive mapHas (src/list.ts:33-44). mapHas walks an entry path upward one path.dirname() call per recursion with no segment cap. A single crafted tar with a GNU-L (or PAX-x) long-path header can deliver a path of tens of thousands of /-separated segments (up to maxMetaEntrySize = 1 MiB). The recursion overflows the call stack, throwing an uncatchable RangeError that terminates the Node process on async/streaming consumers. Root Cause filesFilter (src/list.ts:27-51) is installed whenever a caller passes a member-selection list (src/list.ts:119-122, src/extract.ts:55-57). Its filter is invoked at src/parse.ts:253 (entry.ignore = entry.ignore || !this.filter(entry.path, entry)) inside Parser[CONSUMEHEADER] — and crucially outside the only try/catch in that method (which wraps new Header at src/parse.ts:179-183). mapHas recurses once per path segment with no depth limit. The Unpack maxDepth guard (src/unpack.ts:342, in [CHECKPATH]) only runs on the 'entry' event, which fires after CONSUMEHEADER has already invoked the filter — so the stack overflows before any depth guard executes. tar.t (list) has no maxDepth at all. Impact Unauthenticated, remotely-triggerable denial of service: a ~188-byte gzip (≈26 KB tar) crashes any service that lists or extracts selected members from an untrusted archive (package registries, CI artifact/cache restore, upload processors). On async (await tar.t(...)/tar.x(...)) and streaming/pipe consumers the RangeError escapes the promise as an uncaughtException and terminates the process — standard defensive try/catch around the async call does NOT prevent it. (The synchronous API is catchable; the async/stream paths — the dominant server pattern — are not.) Proof of Concept // Build a tar whose single entry has a GNU-L long path of ~12,000 "a/" segments (~26 KB), // gzip it (≈188 bytes), then have a consumer list/extract with member selection: const tar = require('tar'); await tar.t({ file: 'evil.tar.gz', gzip: true }, ['some-member']); // -> RangeError, process exit Empirically reproduced on Node v24.18.0 against built dist/commonjs of node-tar 7.5.20: 188-byte gzip → 26,112-byte tar (12,000 segments) → uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded → process exit. A control run with no member-selection list (filter not installed) parses cleanly (exit 0), isolating mapHas as the sole cause. Attack Chain Entry. Attacker crafts a tar with a GNU L (or PAX x) long-path header whose body is "a/"×~12000 (~26 KB), followed by a normal file entry. Guard: maxMetaEntrySize caps the meta body at 1 MiB (src/parse.ts:241). Bypass proof: 26 KB ≪ 1 MiB → accepted (verified: 26 KB archive parsed up to the filter). Trigger. Victim service calls tar.t({file},[sel]) or tar.x({file,cwd},[sel]) (member selection — a documented, common API). Guard: Unpack.maxDepth (default 1024) at src/unpack.ts:342; decompression-ratio guard. Bypass proof: maxDepth lives in [CHECKPATH] on the 'entry' event, which fires after CONSUMEHEADER's filter call — the crash occurs before it (extract exits 1 with default maxDepth). tar.t has no maxDepth. Ratio is ~139× (trivial); no total-bytes cap applies to the uncompressed meta body. Sink. this.filter(entry.path) → mapHas recurses once per / segment (src/list.ts:39). Guard: try/catch in CONSUMEHEADER. Bypass proof: the only try/catch wraps new Header (src/parse.ts:179-183); the this.filter(...) call at src/parse.ts:253 is outside it. The RangeError propagates out of the stream write/'data' path → uncaught exception (verified: process.on('uncaughtException') fires; async await+try/catch does NOT intercept). Impact. Node process termination; a 188-byte gzip crashes any consumer that lists/extracts selected members from untrusted archives. Bypass Evidence mapHas recursion is member-name-independent: the crash fires even when the requested members do not match the malicious entry path — the attacker only needs the consumer to use member selection. Standalone mapHas overflows at 20k–30k segments; on the real streaming path (atop write → CONSUMECHUNK → CONSUMEHEADER → filter) it crashes at ≤8k segments (finder's ~12k estimate is accurate for the reachable path). Control (no member list → no filter) parses cleanly (exit 0), isolating mapHas. Affected Versions <= 7.5.20 (npm tar). mapHas present verbatim on tag v7.5.20 (latest GitHub release and npm dist-tag latest); no segment/depth cap in src/list.ts or the CONSUMEHEADER filter path; HEAD == 7.5.20, no unreleased fix. Suggested Fix Rewrite mapHas iteratively (walk dirname in a while loop with a segment/visited cap), or enforce a hard path-segment limit in Header/Parser independent of maxMetaEntrySize, applied before any per-entry filter runs. Dedup Note Distinct from CVE-2024-28863 / GHSA-f5x3-32g6-qm9j "lack of folders depth validation" (that bounds mkdir recursion during extraction via maxDepth in Unpack[CHECKPATH] on the 'entry' event — a different sink, code path, and fix; runs after the filter and does not apply to tar.t). Also distinct from the PAX NUL/numeric-path crash advisories (improper-input-to-fs / type confusion, not recursion) and the gzip-bomb advisory (resource exhaustion on disk writes). None touch list.ts/filesFilter/mapHas or require member selection.

A PAX record of the form path=visible.txt\x00hidden.txt is parsed verbatim into entry.path and flows into fs.lstat() / fs.open(), which Node.js core rejects with ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE. The throw originates inside an FSReqCallback async chain that is not wrapped by the consumer's await/try-catch around tar.x() — it surfaces as uncaughtException and terminates the process. This is a remote denial-of-service primitive against any process that extracts attacker-supplied tarballs through tar.x / tar.extract / tar.t / tar.Parser, even when the consumer follows the documented try/catch error-handling pattern. A secondary parser-differential (CWE-436) exists because tar(1), bsdtar, and Python tarfile truncate the path at the first NUL (yielding visible.txt) while node-tar retains the full string. A validator that pre-scans a tarball with one tool and extracts with the other is bypassed. Root cause Vulnerable sink — src/pax.ts:157-183 PAX KV records flow through parseKVLine. The value half (v) is assigned directly to the result object with no sanitization for embedded NUL bytes: // src/pax.ts:157 const parseKVLine = (set: Record<string, unknown>, line: string) => { const n = parseInt(line, 10) if (n !== Buffer.byteLength(line) + 1) return set line = line.slice((n + ' ').length) const kv = line.split('=') const r = kv.shift() if (!r) return set const k = r.replace(/^SCHILY\.(dev|ino|nlink)/, '$1') const v = kv.join('=') // <-- NO NUL STRIP set[k] = /^([A-Z]+\.)?([mac]|birth|creation)time$/.test(k) ? new Date(Number(v) * 1000) : /^[0-9]+$/.test(v) ? +v : v // <-- v with NULs lands here return set } The PAX record body is length-prefixed, so the parser knows the exact byte boundary — but it never checks whether the value half between = and \n contains NUL. The result is consumed by Header / ReadEntry, where entry.path and entry.linkpath carry the embedded NUL all the way to fs.lstat(). Correctly-patched cousin sink — src/parse.ts:375-388 The equivalent code path for GNU L/K long-headers does strip NUL bytes: // src/parse.ts:375 case 'NextFileHasLongPath': case 'OldGnuLongPath': { const ex = this[EX] ?? Object.create(null) this[EX] = ex ex.path = this[META].replace(/\0.*/, '') // <-- NUL strip applied break } case 'NextFileHasLongLinkpath': { const ex = this[EX] || Object.create(null) this[EX] = ex ex.linkpath = this[META].replace(/\0.*/, '') // <-- NUL strip applied break } The parse.ts fix is the maintainer's own acknowledgement that path strings on this codepath must be NUL-stripped before reaching fs.*. The PAX path produces the identical primitive but bypasses the guard. Downstream blast radius entry.path and entry.linkpath are consumed in: src/unpack.ts → fs.lstat, fs.open, fs.symlink, fs.link, fs.mkdir src/list.ts (no crash — listing tolerates NUL in strings) Any consumer of the ReadEntry event that calls path.join() / fs.* on entry.path The crash fires inside the FSReqCallback Node-internal async machinery, outside the user's await tar.x(...)

The PAX header parser coerces all-digit path values to JavaScript numbers, which causes an uncaught TypeError when downstream code calls .split('/') on the numeric value. Error handlers and strict: false cannot intercept the crash. Details In pax.ts line 180, parseKV converts PAX values matching /^[0-9]+$/ to numbers via +v. This applies to all fields including path and linkpath. When a PAX header sets path to an all-digit string like "12345", the value becomes the number 12345. This number flows through Header -> ReadEntry -> Unpack.CHECKPATH, where normalizeWindowsPath(entry.path).split('/') throws a TypeError because numbers don't have .split(). The throw is synchronous during event emission and bypasses all error handling: strict: false does not help 'error' event handlers do not catch it 'warn' handlers do not catch it The TypeError propagates through the event emitter stack as an uncaughtException Directory, SymbolicLink, and Link type entries reach CHECKPATH and crash. File type entries crash earlier in Header constructor at this.path.slice(-1), but that throw is caught and emitted as a warning only. PoC Create a tar archive with a PAX extended header containing an all-digit path: PAX header body: "18 path=12345\n" Entry type: Directory (type '5') Extract it: const tar = require('tar'); // All of these crash with TypeError: t.split is not a function tar.extract({ file: 'malicious.tar', cwd: '/tmp/test' }); // Error handlers don't help: tar.extract({ file: 'malicious.tar', cwd: '/tmp/test', strict: false }) .on('error', (err) => { /* never reached */ }) .on('warn', (code, msg) => { /* never reached */ }); The archive is ~2.5KB. The crash is deterministic on every attempt. Impact Denial of service. Any application or tool that extracts untrusted tar archives crashes from a single small file.

A short, all-ASCII input (~90 bytes/30 groups) blocks the calling thread for minutes; a slightly longer input hangs it effectively indefinitely. Because the dominant consumers run on Node's single-threaded event loop, one small input can fully stall a worker/process. In expand_, post is computed unconditionally at the top of the function, before the early-return branches that don't use it: const post = m.post.length ? expand_(m.post, max, false) : ['']; // always recurses ... if (!isSequence && !isOptions) { if (m.post.match(/,(?!,).*\}/)) { str = m.pre + '{' + m.body + escClose + m.post; return expand_(str, max, true); // restart — `post` discarded } return [str]; } For input like a{},{},…, the first {} is non-expanding, so control reaches the {a},b} rewrite branch - but expand_ has already recursed into post over the entire remaining tail, only to throw the result away. Each level therefore spawns two recursive expansions over essentially the same remaining work: T(n) = 2·T(n−1) ⇒ O(2ⁿ). The max option does not mitigate this: max only bounds the output-building loops; neither the post recursion nor the rewrite recursion consults it. Measured on 5.0.6: groups (n) input bytes time 20 60 130 ms 24 72 1.9 s 26 78 7.8 s 30 (PoC) 90 ~2 min Proof of concept const { expand } = require('brace-expansion'); // 30 non-expanding groups, ~90 bytes — blocks for minutes: expand('a{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{}'); Impact Any application that passes attacker-influenced strings to brace-expansion.expand() - directly or transitively via minimatch/glob brace patterns - can be driven into a multi-minute-to-indefinite CPU hang by a tiny request, denying service on that thread/process. Remediation Upgrade to a patched release. The fix: Defers computing post until after the early-return branches (and computes it locally in the $-suffix branch), so post is only expanded when a brace set actually expands and the value is used. This alone removes the exponential. Converts the {a},b} rewrite from recursion to an in-function loop, so a long run of rewrites cannot grow the call stack. Verified: the PoC drops from ~2 min to 0.55 ms, 5,000 groups complete in ~344 ms, and output is identical to 5.0.6 across a behavioral-equivalence suite (sequences, padding, $-prefix, a{},b}c, {},a}b, x{{a,b}}y, etc.). Post-fix complexity is ~O(n²) on this input class - acceptable for the security fix; a linear rewrite can be a non-urgent follow-up. If immediate upgrade isn't possible, avoid passing untrusted input to expand() / glob brace patterns, or run such expansion under a timeout/worker.

By chaining many brace groups, an attacker keeps the result count under max while making every result grow with the number of groups. Building max long results — plus the intermediate arrays combined at each brace group — exhausts memory and crashes the Node process with an uncatchable out-of-memory error. try/catch around expand() does not help: the fatal error terminates the process. A ~7.5 KB input ('{a,b}'.repeat(1500)) is enough to crash a default Node process. Details For N chained brace groups such as '{a,b}'.repeat(N): the result count is 2^N, immediately capped at max (100_000), so the max protection appears to hold, but each result is N characters long, so the total output size is max × N characters, which grows without bound in N. expand_ combines each brace set with the fully-expanded tail: const post = m.post.length ? expand_(m.post, max, false) : [''] ... for (let j = 0; j < N.length; j++) { for (let k = 0; k < post.length && expansions.length < max; k++) { const expansion = pre + N[j] + post[k] // grows one group longer per level ... expansions.push(expansion) } } The loop guard expansions.length < max limits how many strings are built, but nothing limits how long they get. Each recursion level materializes another array of up to max strings, one character longer than the level below, and — because V8 represents pre + N[j] + post[k] as a cons-string (rope) that references post[k] — those intermediate strings stay reachable through the whole chain. Memory therefore scales with max × N.

Because the failure is a fatal V8 out-of-memory error rather than a thrown exception, it cannot be caught and it takes down the whole worker/process, denying service.

The fix bounds the total number of characters a single expand() call may accumulate (EXPANSION_MAX_LENGTH, default 4_000_000, configurable via a new maxLength option), applied inside the output-building loops so intermediate arrays are bounded too. Once the limit is reached, output is truncated — consistent with how max already truncates — instead of growing without bound. The limit sits well above any realistic expansion (100,000 results hitting max measure ~1M characters), so legitimate input is unaffected. After the fix, '{a,b}'.repeat(1500) returns a bounded, truncated result in ~0.7 s using ~340 MB and never crashes, including under a constrained 512 MB heap. The fix bounds memory but the algorithm still rebuilds intermediate arrays at each level (roughly O(N × maxLength) work on this input class). A streaming rewrite that produces output in O(total output size) can be a non-urgent follow-up. If immediate upgrade isn't possible, avoid passing untrusted input to expand() / glob brace patterns, or pass a small explicit max and maxLength.

Workaround Ensure the string to be expanded doesn't contain more values than the desired max item count.

A malicious WebSocket server can stream many small or empty continuation frames that each pass per-frame and cumulative-size validation, collectively causing unbounded memory growth in the client process. The result is memory exhaustion and a denial of service. Affected applications are those using the undici WebSocket client (new WebSocket(...)) or the WebSocketStream API that can be induced to connect to an attacker-controlled or compromised WebSocket endpoint. All releases starting at undici 6.17.0 are affected. Patches Upgrade to undici v6.27.0, v7.28.0 or v8.5.0. Workarounds No workaround is available. The fix must be applied through an upgrade.

RFC 6265 §5.4 does not specify any decoding and browsers do not decode either. Applications that parse a Set-Cookie header and then forward the parsed value into a response header (proxies, middleware, SSR frameworks) become vulnerable to HTTP response header injection: an attacker-controlled upstream can inject arbitrary Set-Cookie, Location, or Cache-Control headers into the application's downstream response, enabling session fixation, open redirect, or cache poisoning. Affected applications are those that use undici's cookie parsing (parseSetCookie, parseCookie, getSetCookies) and forward the parsed cookie value into a response header. This was introduced in undici 7.0.0 via #3789. Patches Upgrade to undici v6.27.0, v7.28.0 or v8.5.0. Workarounds If upgrade is not immediately possible, do not forward values returned by parseSetCookie/parseCookie/getSetCookies directly into response headers; sanitize the value first to strip or reject CR, LF, NUL, ;, and = bytes.

An attacker-controlled upstream server can inject an unsolicited HTTP/1.1 response onto an idle socket after a request completes. When the client dispatches the next request on that socket, it associates the injected response with the new request, causing responses to be delivered to the wrong requests. This requires an attacker-controlled or compromised upstream HTTP/1.1 server and keep-alive connection reuse. Patches Upgrade to undici v6.27.0, v7.28.0 or v8.5.0. Workarounds Disable keep-alive connection reuse by setting keepAliveTimeout: 0 on the Client or Pool.

Non-spec values are silently mapped to one of the three standard tokens: SameSite=NoneOfYourBusiness is parsed as None, the most permissive setting. SameSite=StrictLax is parsed as Lax, a downgrade from Strict. Affected applications are those that consume Set-Cookie headers from server responses (for example via undici's fetch or proxy code paths) and then forward or rely on the parsed sameSite attribute. A malicious or non-compliant server can coerce the consumer's view of a cookie's SameSite policy to a weaker value, silently degrading the SameSite enforcement the cookie is supposed to provide. This was introduced in undici 5.15.0 when the cookies feature was added. Patches Upgrade to undici v6.27.0, v7.28.0 or v8.5.0. Workarounds After parsing a Set-Cookie header, validate that the resulting sameSite attribute is one of 'Strict', 'Lax', or 'None' (exact, case-insensitive) before forwarding or relying on it.

Details The public verify options include certificateOIDs and the documentation says those OID/value pairs “must be present in the certificate’s extension list.” The policy-construction path used by sigstore.verify() and createVerifier() only copies the SAN and issuer settings into the verification policy and completely ignores certificateOIDs. As a result, callers can believe they are constraining verification to certificates carrying specific Fulcio or workload-identifying OIDs, while the actual verifier never receives those constraints. Any bundle that satisfies the remaining checks is accepted even if the required OID extensions are absent or mismatched. This is reachable from supported usage through the documented certificateOIDs verify option.

An application that (1) passes untrusted input to Address6 and (2) renders the output of these methods, or the thrown error's parseMessage, as HTML (e.g. via innerHTML) is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. A related issue in v6.helpers.spanAll() produced malformed markup but was not exploitable; it is hardened in the same release for consistency. Details Four related issues were identified and fixed together: Address6.group(): zone ID injection. The Address6 constructor stores the raw input (including any IPv6 zone ID) in this.address before zone stripping. group() then passed this.address to helpers.simpleGroup(), which wrapped each :-separated segment in a <span> element without HTML-escaping the content. A zone ID containing HTML markup was embedded verbatim. Address6.link({ prefix, className }): attribute-value injection. link() concatenated user-supplied prefix and className into the href="…" and class="…" attributes without escaping. A caller passing untrusted content through these options could inject event handlers (e.g. onmouseover) and achieve XSS. Address6 constructor: leading-zero IPv4 error path. The leading-zero branch in parse4in6() built AddressError.parseMessage by concatenating the raw address through String.replace(). Because parse4in6() runs before the bad-character check, any characters in the groups preceding the IPv4 suffix flowed into the error's HTML unescaped. Consumers who render parseMessage as HTML (its documented purpose — it already contains <span class="parse-error"> markup) could be XSS'd by a crafted input such as <img src=x onerror=alert(1)>:10.0.01.1. v6.helpers.spanAll(): attribute-value injection (defense in depth). spanAll() embedded each character of its input into a class="digit value-${n} …" attribute without escaping. Because split('') limits n to a single character this was not exploitable in practice, but it produced malformed markup and is fixed for consistency. Affected Versions All versions up to and including 10.1.0. Patched Version 10.1.1. Impact Real-world exposure is believed to be extremely limited. Analysis of all 425 dependent npm packages as well as GitHub code search found zero consumers of group(), link(), or spanAll(): these HTML-emitting surfaces appear to be unused across published npm packages and public repositories. Applications using only the address-parsing and comparison APIs (isValid, correctForm, isInSubnet, bigInt, etc.) are not affected. Consumers who do render the output of group(), link(), spanAll(), or AddressError.parseMessage as HTML against untrusted input should upgrade. PoC const { Address6 } = require('ip-address'); const addr = new Address6('fe80::1%<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>'); document.body.innerHTML = addr.group(); // fires the onerror handler in 10.1.0 Workarounds If users cannot upgrade immediately: Do not pass untrusted input to the Address6 constructor, or Never render the output of group(), link(), or spanAll(), nor the parseMessage field of any thrown AddressError, as HTML; treat these values as text only, or run them through DOMPurify before inserting into the DOM (DOMPurify's default configuration preserves the library's intended <span> wrapping while stripping any injected event handlers), or Validate input with Address6.isValid() and reject anything that contains a zone identifier (a % character) or characters outside [0-9a-fA-F:/] before passing it to the constructor. Lack of separate CVEs Given the evidence that these methods are not used, and given that they are all of the same construction, maintainers do not think it's relevant or useful to create a separate CVE for each library method.

This allows payloadType to be mutated after signing without invalidating the signature, breaking the type-binding guarantee that DSSE is designed to provide. In packages/core/src/dsse.ts, the PAE function builds a string containing payloadType and then encodes it with Buffer.from(prefix, 'ascii'). In Node.js, 'ascii' encoding for string-to-Buffer is equivalent to 'latin1', which truncates characters above U+00FF to their low byte. This means for any ASCII character, there exist Unicode characters (at U+01xx, U+02xx, etc.) that produce the identical encoded byte: Original Codepoint Mutant Codepoint Encoded byte t U+0074 Ŵ U+0174 0x74 e U+0065 ť U+0165 0x65 An attacker can substitute every character in payloadType with a Unicode variant whose low byte matches, producing identical PAE bytes and a passing signature verification. Additionally, payloadType.length returns the JavaScript string length (UTF-16 code units) rather than the UTF-8 byte length required by the DSSE spec, though this is only a contributing factor for non-ASCII types. Reproduction const { preAuthEncoding } = require('@<!-- -->sigstore/core/dist/dsse.js'); const payload = Buffer.from('hello world'); const original = preAuthEncoding('text/plain', payload); // U+01xx chars whose low bytes match the original ASCII chars const mutant = preAuthEncoding('\u0174\u0165\u0178\u0174/\u0170\u016c\u0161\u0169\u016e', payload); console.log('PAE bytes equal:', original.equals(mutant)); // true — should be false
