How to Fix GHSA-crpm-fm48-chj7

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

resquel fixed: Latest secure release 
npm install resquel@Latest secure release
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 resquel

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-crpm-fm48-chj7, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls resquel

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

Note: The npm ls resquel 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 Resquel, 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

All versions of `resquel` are vulnerable to SQL Injection. Query parameters are not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject SQL statements and execute arbitrary SQL queries ## Recommendation No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
