How to Fix CVE-2022-0355

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

simple-get fixed: 4.0.1 
npm install simple-get@4.0.1
simple-get fixed: 3.1.1 
npm install simple-get@3.1.1
simple-get fixed: 2.8.2 
npm install simple-get@2.8.2
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 simple-get

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2022-0355, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls simple-get

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Simple get in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.0.1), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls simple-get 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 Simple get, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
