Code Injection in js-yaml

GHSA-8j8c-7jfh-h6hx

More information

Details

Versions of js-yaml prior to 3.13.1 are vulnerable to Code Injection. The load() function may execute arbitrary code injected through a malicious YAML file. Objects that have toString as key, JavaScript code as value and are used as explicit mapping keys allow attackers to execute the supplied code through the load() function. The safeLoad() function is unaffected.

An example payload is
{ toString: !<tag:yaml.org,2002:js/function> 'function (){return Date.now()}' } : 1
which returns the object
{
"1553107949161": 1
}

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.13.1.

Severity

High

Denial of Service in js-yaml

GHSA-2pr6-76vf-7546

More information

Details

Versions of js-yaml prior to 3.13.0 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. By parsing a carefully-crafted YAML file, the node process stalls and may exhaust system resources leading to a Denial of Service.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.13.0.

  • CVSS Score: 5.9 / 10 (Medium)
