How to Fix CVE-2021-44111

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

s-cart/s-cart fixed: 6.7.2 
Upgrade s-cart/s-cart to 6.7.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for s-cart/s-cart

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2021-44111, inspect your project dependencies for S cart/s cart:

inspect dependencies for s-cart/s-cart

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of S cart/s cart in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 6.7.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In S cart/s cart, 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.
