How to Fix CVE-2024-42352

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

@nuxt/icon fixed: 1.4.5 
npm install @nuxt/icon@1.4.5
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 @nuxt/icon

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-42352, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @nuxt/icon

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @nuxt/icon in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.4.5), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @nuxt/icon 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-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In @nuxt/icon, 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

### Summary `nuxt/icon` provides an API to allow client side icon lookup. This endpoint is at `/api/_nuxt_icon/[name]`. The proxied request path is improperly parsed, allowing an attacker to change the scheme and host of the request. This leads to SSRF, and could potentially lead to sensitive data exposure. ### Details The `new URL` constructor is used to parse the final path. This constructor can be passed a relative scheme or path in order to change the host the request is sent to. This constructor is also very tolerant of poorly formatted URLs. As a result we can pass a path prefixed with the string `http:`. This has the effect of changing the scheme to HTTP. We can then subsequently pass a new host, for example `http:127.0.0.1:8080`. This would allow us to send requests to a local server. ### PoC Make a request to `/api/_nuxt_icon/http:example.com`, observe the data returned has been fetched from a different resource than intended. I typically try to find an example within Nuxt infrastructure that is vulnerable to these types of bugs, but I could not identify any with this endpoint enabled. ### Impact + SSRF, potential sensitive data exposure. + I do not believe this can be chained into an XSS, but it may be possible. + Does not have a security impact on services deployed on Cloudflare Workers. + Does not impact certain builds and modes (like static builds). + Can be mitigated using by disabling the `fallbackToApi` option. ### Fix + Ensure the host has not been changed after the path is parsed. + Alternatively, prefix the path with `./`.
