How to Fix CVE-2022-24718

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

@finastra/ssr-pages fixed: 0.1.4 
npm install @finastra/ssr-pages@0.1.4
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 @finastra/ssr-pages

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2022-24718, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @finastra/ssr-pages

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @finastra/ssr pages in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.1.4), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @finastra/ssr-pages 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-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In @finastra/ssr pages, 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

A path traversal issue can occur when providing untrusted input to the `svg` property as an argument to the `build(MessagePageOptions)` function. ### References - https://github.com/Finastra/ssr-pages/pull/1 - https://github.com/Finastra/ssr-pages/pull/1/commits/c3e4c563384ae3ba3892f37dd190218577620780
