How to Fix CVE-2020-11003

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

@fraction/oasis fixed: 2.15.0 
npm install @fraction/oasis@2.15.0
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 @fraction/oasis

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2020-11003, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @fraction/oasis

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @fraction/oasis in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.15.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @fraction/oasis 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-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), where the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. In @fraction/oasis, 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

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ If you're running a vulnerable application on your computer and an attacker can trick you into visiting a malicious website, they could use [DNS rebinding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding) and [CSRF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery) attacks to read/write to vulnerable applications. **There is no evidence that suggests that this has been used in the wild.** ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ Yes, 2.15.0. ### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ No. ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_ No. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [fraction/oasis](http://github.com/fraction/oasis) * Email me at [christianbundy@fraction.io](mailto:christianbundy@fraction.io)
