How to Fix CVE-2024-30261

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

undici fixed: 5.28.4 
npm install undici@5.28.4
undici fixed: 6.11.1 
npm install undici@6.11.1
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 undici

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-30261, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls undici

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Undici in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 5.28.4), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls undici 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-284: Improper Access Control, where the product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor. In Undici, 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 If an attacker can alter the `integrity` option passed to `fetch()`, they can let `fetch()` accept requests as valid even if they have been tampered. ### Patches Fixed in https://github.com/nodejs/undici/commit/d542b8cd39ec1ba303f038ea26098c3f355974f3. Fixes has been released in v5.28.4 and v6.11.1. ### Workarounds Ensure that `integrity` cannot be tampered with. ### References https://hackerone.com/reports/2377760
