Security Impact
CVSS: 3.7
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).
How to Fix GHSA-r5w7-f542-q2j4
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @sentry/node dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install @sentry/node@8.49.0
npm install @sentry/astro@8.49.0
npm install @sentry/aws-serverless@8.49.0
npm install @sentry/bun@8.49.0
npm install @sentry/google-cloud-serverless@8.49.0
npm install @sentry/nestjs@8.49.0
npm install @sentry/nextjs@8.49.0
npm install @sentry/nuxt@8.49.0
npm install @sentry/remix@8.49.0
npm install @sentry/solidstart@8.49.0
npm install @sentry/sveltekit@8.49.0
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @sentry/node
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-r5w7-f542-q2j4, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @sentry/node
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @sentry/node in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 8.49.0), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @sentry/node 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-774: Allocation of File Descriptors or Handles Without Limits or Throttling, where the product allocates file descriptors or handles on behalf of an actor without imposing any restrictions on how many descriptors can be allocated, in violation of the intended security policy for that actor. In @sentry/node, 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.

"details" : "### Impact\nThe [ContextLines integration](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/node/configuration/integrations/contextlines/) uses readable streams to more efficiently use memory when reading files. The ContextLines integration is used to attach source context to outgoing events.\n\nThe stream was not explicitly closed after use. This could lead to excessive amounts of file handles open on the system and potentially lead to a Denial of Service (DoS).\n\nThe ContextLines integration is enabled by default in the Node SDK (`@sentry/node`) and SDKs that run in Node.js environments (`@sentry/astro`, `@sentry/aws-serverless`, `@sentry/bun`, `@sentry/google-cloud-serverless`, `@sentry/nestjs`, `@sentry/nextjs`, `@sentry/nuxt`, `@sentry/remix`, `@sentry/solidstart`, `@sentry/sveltekit`).\n\n### Patches\n\nUsers should upgrade to version `8.49.0` or higher.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nTo remediate this issue in affected versions without upgrading to version `8.49.0` and above you can disable the ContextLines integration. See the [docs](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/node/configuration/integrations/#removing-a-default-integration) for more details.\n\n```js\nSentry.init({\n // ...\n integrations: function (integrations) {\n // integrations will be all default integrations\n return integrations.filter(function (integration) {\n return integration.name !== \"ContextLines\";\n });\n },\n});\n```\n\nIf you disable the ContextLines integration, you will lose source context on your error events.\n\n### References\n- Reported issue: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/14892\n- PR Fix: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/14997\n",
