How to Fix CVE-2024-57068

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @tanstack/form core 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/form-core fixed: 0.42.1 
npm install @tanstack/form-core@0.42.1
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 @tanstack/form-core

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-57068, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @tanstack/form-core

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @tanstack/form core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.42.1), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @tanstack/form-core command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
