How to Fix GHSA-8mwq-mj73-qv68

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

@sequelize/core fixed: 7.0.0-alpha.20 
npm install @sequelize/core@7.0.0-alpha.20
sequelize fixed: 6.29.0 
npm install sequelize@6.29.0
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 @sequelize/core

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-8mwq-mj73-qv68, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @sequelize/core

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 7.0.0-alpha.20), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @sequelize/core 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-790: Improper Filtering of Special Elements, where the product receives data from an upstream component, but does not filter or incorrectly filters special elements before sending it to a downstream component. In Duplicate advisory, 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

## Duplicate advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of [GHSA-f598-mfpv-gmfx](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-f598-mfpv-gmfx). This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description Due to improper attribute filtering in the sequelize js library, an attacker can peform SQL injections. This issue can be mitigated by not accepting untrusted input.
