How to Fix GHSA-6v7p-5qcq-268c

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Zendframework/zend navigation 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/zend-navigation fixed: 2.2.7 
Upgrade zendframework/zend-navigation to 2.2.7
zendframework/zend-navigation fixed: 2.3.1 
Upgrade zendframework/zend-navigation to 2.3.1
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/zend-navigation

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-6v7p-5qcq-268c, inspect your project dependencies for Zendframework/zend navigation:

inspect dependencies for zendframework/zend-navigation

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Zendframework/zend navigation in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.2.7), 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-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), where the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. In Zendframework/zend navigation, 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

Many Zend Framework 2 view helpers were using the `escapeHtml()` view helper in order to escape HTML attributes, instead of the more appropriate `escapeHtmlAttr()`. In situations where user data and/or JavaScript is used to seed attributes, this can lead to potential cross site scripting (XSS) attack vectors. Vulnerable view helpers include: - All `Zend\Form` view helpers. - Most `Zend\Navigation` (aka `Zend\View\Helper\Navigation\*`) view helpers. - All "HTML Element" view helpers: `htmlFlash()`, `htmlPage()`, `htmlQuickTime()`. - `Zend\View\Helper\Gravatar`
