How to Fix GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388

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

hyper-staticfile fixed: 0.9.4 
Upgrade hyper-staticfile to 0.9.4
hyper-staticfile fixed: 0.10.0-alpha.5 
Upgrade hyper-staticfile to 0.10.0-alpha.5
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 hyper-staticfile

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388, inspect your project dependencies for Hyper staticfile:

inspect dependencies for hyper-staticfile

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Hyper staticfile in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.9.4), 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-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect'), where the web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a redirect. In Hyper staticfile, 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

When `hyper-staticfile` performs a redirect for a directory request (e.g. a request for `/dir` that redirects to `/dir/`), the `Location` header value was derived from user input (the request path), simply appending a slash. The intent was to perform an origin-relative redirect, but specific inputs allowed performing a scheme-relative redirect instead. An attacker could craft a special URL that would appear to be for the correct domain, but immediately redirects to a malicious domain. Such a URL can benefit phishing attacks, for example an innocent looking link in an email.
