CVE-2024-27298: ZDI-CAN-19105 SQL Injection Vulnerability
CRITICALCVE-2024-27298 is a CRITICAL (CVSS 10.0) sql injection vulnerability (CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')) affecting ZDI-CAN-19105 libraries in the npm ecosystem. The issue involves parse server literalizeregexpart sql injection. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 6.5.0, 7.0.0-alpha.20.
CVE-2024-27298 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 10.0
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2024-27298
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected ZDI-CAN-19105 dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install parse-server@6.5.0npm install parse-server@7.0.0-alpha.20Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls parse-serverHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-27298, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls parse-serverAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of ZDI-CAN-19105 in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 6.5.0), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls parse-server 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-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an sql command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended sql command when it is sent to a downstream component. without sufficient removal or quoting of sql syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated sql query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as sql instead of ordinary user data. In ZDI-CAN-19105, 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.
