How to Fix GHSA-jq87-2wxp-8349

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

zendframework/zendframework fixed: 2.0.8 
Upgrade zendframework/zendframework to 2.0.8
zendframework/zendframework fixed: 2.1.4 
Upgrade zendframework/zendframework to 2.1.4
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 zendframework/zendframework

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-jq87-2wxp-8349, inspect your project dependencies for Zendframework/zendframework:

inspect dependencies for zendframework/zendframework

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Zendframework/zendframework in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.0.8), 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-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In Zendframework/zendframework, 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

In Zend Framework 2, `Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Query` is used primarily to allow appending query strings to URLs when assembled. However, due to the fact that it captures any query parameters into the RouteMatch, and the fact that RouteMatch parameters are merged with any parent routes, this can lead to overriding already captured routing parameters, bypassing constraints defined in the parents. As an example, consider the following route definition: ``` array( 'user' => array( 'type' => 'segment', 'options' => array( 'route' => '/user/:key', 'defaults' => array( 'controller' => 'UserController', 'action' => 'show-action', ), 'constraints' => array( 'key' => '[a-z0-9]+', ), ), 'child_routes' => array( 'query' => array('type' => 'query'), ), ), ) ``` If the request URI was /user/foo/?controller=SecretController&key=invalid_value, the RouteMatch returned after routing would contain the following: ``` array( 'controller' => 'SecretController', 'action' => 'show-action', 'key' => 'invalid_value', ) ``` This would lead to execution of a different controller than intended, with a value for the key parameter that bypassed the constraints outlined in the parent route.
