chore(deps): [security] bump node-forge from 0.9.1 to 0.10.0 #124

Open dependabot-preview[bot] opened 4 years ago

dependabot-preview[bot] commented 4 years ago

Bumps node-forge from 0.9.1 to 0.10.0. This update includes a security fix.

Vulnerabilities fixed

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

Prototype Pollution in node-forge The package node-forge before 0.10.0 is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the util.setPath function. Note: Version 0.10.0 is a breaking change removing the vulnerable functions.

Affected versions: < 0.10.0

Changelog

Sourced from node-forge's changelog.

0.10.0 - 2020-09-01

Changed

  • BREAKING: Node.js 4 no longer supported. The code may still work, and non-invasive patches to keep it working will be considered. However, more modern tools no longer support old Node.js versions making testing difficult.

Removed

  • BREAKING: Remove util.getPath, util.setPath, and util.deletePath. util.setPath had a potential prototype pollution security issue when used with unsafe inputs. These functions are not used by forge itself. They date from an early time when forge was targeted at providing general helper functions. The library direction changed to be more focused on cryptography. Many other excellent libraries are more suitable for general utilities. If you need a replacement for these functions, consier get, set, and unset from lodash. But also consider the potential similar security issues with those APIs.

0.9.2 - 2020-09-01

Changed

  • Added util.setPath security note to function docs and to README.

Notes

  • SECURITY: The util.setPath function has the potential to cause prototype pollution if used with unsafe input.
    • This function is not used internally by forge.
    • The rest of the library is unaffected by this issue.
    • Do not use unsafe input with this function.
    • Usage with known input should function as expected. (Including input intentionally using potentially problematic keys.)
    • No code changes will be made to address this issue in 0.9.x. The current behavior could be considered a feature rather than a security issue. 0.10.0 will be released that removes util.getPath and util.setPath. Consider get and set from lodash if you need replacements. But also consider the potential similar security issues with those APIs.
