How to Fix CVE-2023-25164

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

@tinacms/cli fixed: 1.0.9 
npm install @tinacms/cli@1.0.9
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 @tinacms/cli

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2023-25164, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @tinacms/cli

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @tinacms/cli in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.0.9), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @tinacms/cli 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-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In @tinacms/cli, 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 Sensitive Information leaked via script File in TinaCMS. Sites building with @tinacms/cli >= 1.0.0 && < 1.0.9 that store sensitive values in process.env var are impacted. If you're on a version prior to 1.0.0 this vulnerability does not affect you. If your Tina-enabled website has sensitive credentials stored as environment variables (eg. Algolia API keys) you should rotate those keys immediately. ### Patches This issue has been patched in @tinacms/cli@1.0.9 ### Workarounds Upgrading, and rotating secure & exposed keys is required for the proper fix. ### References https://github.com/tinacms/tinacms/pull/3584
