How to Fix GHSA-5gmf-3c43-q73v

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

zendframework/zendframework fixed: 2.0.1 
Upgrade zendframework/zendframework to 2.0.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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

inspect dependencies for zendframework/zendframework

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-5gmf-3c43-q73v, inspect your project dependencies for Zendframework/zendframework:

inspect dependencies for zendframework/zendframework

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Zendframework/zendframework in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.0.1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Zendframework/zendframework, 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

`Zend\Debug`, `Zend\Feed\PubSubHubbub`, `Zend\Log\Formatter\Xml`, `Zend\Tag\Cloud\Decorator`, `Zend\Uri`, `Zend\View\Helper\HeadStyle, Zend\View\Helper\Navigation\Sitemap`, and `Zend\View\Helper\Placeholder\Container\AbstractStandalone` were not using `Zend\Escaper` when escaping HTML, HTML attributes, and/or URLs. While most were performing some escaping, because they were not using context-appropriate escaping mechanisms, they could potentially be exploited to perform Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.
