How to Fix GHSA-jjmg-x456-w976

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

csrf-csrf fixed: 2.2.1 
npm install csrf-csrf@2.2.1
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 csrf-csrf

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-jjmg-x456-w976, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls csrf-csrf

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Csrf csrf in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.2.1), your application is affected.

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

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Csrf csrf, 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?_ The default cookie name (and documentation recommendation) was prefixed with `Host__` instead of `__Host-`. The point of this prefix is for additional security, to ensure that, when no domain option is provided in the cookie options, we can guarantee the cookie came from the correct domain. ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ Yes, the problem is patched from version 2.2.1, this will not be back ported, but you can use the workaround described below. ### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ You can work around this by providing a custom `cookieName` as part of the options, which is correctly prefixed with `__Host-`. ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_ https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html#cookie-with-__host-prefix ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Reach out on the [Psifi Solutions Discord](https://psifisolutions.com/discord) in the `#psifi-support` channel
