How to Fix CVE-2024-34712

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

oceanic.js fixed: 1.10.4 
npm install oceanic.js@1.10.4
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 oceanic.js

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-34712, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls oceanic.js

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Oceanic.js in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.10.4), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls oceanic.js 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-23: Relative Path Traversal, where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences such as ".." that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. In Oceanic.js, 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

### Impact Input to functions such as `Client.rest.channels.removeBan` is not url-encoded, resulting in specially crafted input such as `../../../channels/{id}` being normalized into the url `/api/v10/channels/{id}`, and deleting a channel rather than removing a ban. ### Workarounds * Sanitizing user input, ensuring strings are valid for the purpose they are being used for. * Encoding input with `encodeURIComponent` before providing it to the library. ### References OceanicJS/Oceanic@8bf8ee8373b8c565fbdbf70a609aba4fbc1a1ffe
