How to Fix CVE-2019-11002

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

materialize-css fixed: Latest secure release 
npm install materialize-css@Latest secure release
@materializecss/materialize fixed: 1.1.0-alpha 
npm install @materializecss/materialize@1.1.0-alpha
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 materialize-css

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2019-11002, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls materialize-css

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Materialize css in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.1.0-alpha), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls materialize-css 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-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Materialize css, 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

All versions of `materialize-css` are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The `tooltip` component does not sufficiently sanitize user input, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code if the malicious input is rendered by a user. ## Recommendation No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative module until a fix is made available.
