How to Fix GHSA-p72p-rjr2-r439

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

terriajs-server fixed: 2.7.4 
npm install terriajs-server@2.7.4
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 terriajs-server

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-p72p-rjr2-r439, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls terriajs-server

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Terriajs server in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.7.4), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls terriajs-server 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-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In Terriajs server, 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

Versions of `terriajs-server`prior to 2.7.4 are vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). If an attacker has access to a server whitelisted by the terriajs-server proxy or if the attacker is able to modify the DNS records of a domain whitelisted by the terriajs-server proxy, the attacker can use the terriajs-server proxy to access any HTTP-accessible resources that are accessible to the server, including private resources in the hosting environment. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 2.7.4 or later.
