CVE-2022-24441: Snyk Snyk Code Injection Vulnerability Vulnerability
HIGHCVE-2022-24441 is a HIGH (CVSS 8.8) snyk code injection vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')) affecting Snyk libraries in the npm ecosystem. The issue involves snyk code injection vulnerability. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 1.1064.0.
CVE-2022-24441 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 8.8
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2022-24441
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Snyk 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 snyk@1.1064.0Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls snykHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2022-24441, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls snykAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Snyk in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.1064.0), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls snyk 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-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an os command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended os command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Snyk, 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" : "The package snyk before 1.1064.0 is vulnerable to Code Injection when analyzing a project. An attacker who can convince a user to scan a malicious project can include commands in a build file such as build.gradle or gradle-wrapper.jar, which will be executed with the privileges of the application. This vulnerability may be triggered when running the the CLI tool directly, or when running a scan with one of the IDE plugins that invoke the Snyk CLI. Successful exploitation of this issue would likely require some level of social engineering - to coerce an untrusted project to be downloaded and analyzed via the Snyk CLI or opened in an IDE where a Snyk IDE plugin is installed and enabled. Additionally, if the IDE has a Trust feature then the target folder must be marked as ‘trusted’ in order to be vulnerable.\n\n**NOTE:** This issue is independent of the one reported in [CVE-2022-40764](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-SNYK-3037342), and upgrading to a fixed version for this addresses that issue as well.\n\nThe affected IDE plugins and versions are: \n- VS Code - Affected: <=1.8.0, Fixed: 1.9.0 \n- IntelliJ - Affected: <=2.4.47, Fixed: 2.4.48 \n- Visual Studio - Affected: <=1.1.30, Fixed: 1.1.31 \n- Eclipse - Affected: <=v20221115.132308, Fixed: All subsequent versions \n- Language Server - Affected: <=v20221109.114426, Fixed: All subsequent versions",
