How to Fix CVE-2022-0087
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @keystone 6/auth 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 @keystone-6/auth@1.0.2npm install @keystone-next/auth@Latest secure releaseRun the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @keystone-6/authHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2022-0087, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @keystone-6/authAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of @keystone 6/auth in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.0.2), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @keystone-6/auth command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
