How to Fix GHSA-3xc7-xg67-pw99

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Sequelize cli dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

sequelize-cli fixed: Latest secure release 
npm install sequelize-cli@Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls sequelize-cli

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-3xc7-xg67-pw99, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls sequelize-cli

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sequelize cli in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls sequelize-cli command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-532: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File, where the product writes sensitive information to a log file. In Sequelize cli, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Versions of `sequelize-cli` prior to 5.5.0 are vulnerable to Sensitive Data Exposure. The function `filteredURL()` does not properly sanitize the `config.password` value which may cause passwords with special characters to be logged in plain text. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 5.5.0 or later.
