How to Fix GHSA-q849-wxrc-vqrp

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

hull.js fixed: 1.0.10 
npm install hull.js@1.0.10
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 hull.js

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-q849-wxrc-vqrp, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls hull.js

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Hull.js in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.0.10), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls hull.js 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-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In Hull.js, 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 the library from 0.2.2 to 1.0.9 are vulnerable to the arbitrary code execution due to unsafe usage of `new Function(...)` in the module that handles points format. Applications passing the 3rd parameter to the `hull` function without sanitising may be impacted. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 1.0.10, please update the library.
