How to Fix CVE-2022-33011

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

idno/known fixed: Latest secure release 
Upgrade idno/known to Latest secure release
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 idno/known

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-33011, inspect your project dependencies for Idno/known:

inspect dependencies for idno/known

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Idno/known in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), 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 Idno/known, 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

Known v1.3.1 was discovered to allow attackers to perform an account takeover via a host header injection attack. The researcher report indicates that versions 1.3.1 and prior are vulnerable. Version 1.2.2 is the last version tagged on GitHub and in Packagist, and development related to the 1.3.x branch is currently on the `dev` branch of the idno/known repository.
