Prototype pollution in bundled version of DOMPurify

High
aloisklink published GHSA-m4gq-x24j-jpmf Oct 22, 2024

Package

npm mermaid (npm)

Affected versions

<= 10.9.2

Patched versions

10.9.3, 11.0.0

Description

The following bundled files within the Mermaid NPM package contain a bundled version of DOMPurify that is vulnerable to GHSA-mmhx-hmjr-r674, potentially resulting in an XSS attack.

This affects the built:

  • dist/mermaid.min.js
  • dist/mermaid.js
  • dist/mermaid.esm.mjs
  • dist/mermaid.esm.min.mjs

This will also affect users that use the above files via a CDN link, e.g. https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@10.9.2/dist/mermaid.min.js

Users that use the default NPM export of mermaid, e.g. import mermaid from 'mermaid', or the dist/mermaid.core.mjs file, do not use this bundled version of DOMPurify, and can easily update using their package manager with something like npm audit fix.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
