How to Fix CVE-2024-24558

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @tanstack/react query next experimental dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

@tanstack/react-query-next-experimental fixed: 5.18.0 
npm install @tanstack/react-query-next-experimental@5.18.0
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 @tanstack/react-query-next-experimental

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-24558, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @tanstack/react-query-next-experimental

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @tanstack/react query next experimental in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 5.18.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @tanstack/react-query-next-experimental 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-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In @tanstack/react query next experimental, 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 The `@tanstack/react-query-next-experimental` NPM package is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. To exploit this, an attacker would need to either inject malicious input or arrange to have malicious input be returned from an endpoint. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of untrusted input when `@tanstack/react-query-next-experimental` performs server-side rendering of HTML pages. To fix this vulnerability, we implemented appropriate escaping to prevent javascript injection into rendered pages. ### Patches To fix this issue, please update to version 5.18.0 or later. ### Workarounds There are no known workarounds for this issue. Please update to version 5.18.0 or later.
