How to Fix CVE-2025-45001

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

react-native-keys fixed: Latest secure release 
npm install react-native-keys@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 react-native-keys

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2025-45001, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls react-native-keys

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of React native keys 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 react-native-keys 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-312: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information, where the product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere. In React native keys, 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

react-native-keys 0.7.11 is vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure (remote) as encryption cipher and Base64 chunks are stored as plaintext in the compiled native binary. Attackers can extract these secrets using basic static analysis tools.
