How to Fix CVE-2022-29230

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

@shopify/hydrogen fixed: 0.19.0 
npm install @shopify/hydrogen@0.19.0
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 @shopify/hydrogen

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2022-29230, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @shopify/hydrogen

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @shopify/hydrogen in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.19.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @shopify/hydrogen 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 @shopify/hydrogen, 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

### Impact There is a potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability where an arbitrary user is able to execute scripts on pages that are built with Hydrogen. This affects all versions of Hydrogen starting from version 0.10.0 to 0.18.0. This vulnerability is exploitable in applications whose hydrating data is user controlled. ### Patches All Hydrogen users should upgrade their project to v0.19.0. ### Workarounds There is no current workaround, and users should update as soon as possible. Additionally, the Content Security Policy is not an effective mitigation for this vulnerability. ### References GitHub: [Hydrogen v0.19.0](https://github.com/Shopify/hydrogen/releases/tag/%40shopify/hydrogen%400.19.0) Fix PR: https://github.com/Shopify/hydrogen/pull/1272 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Shopify/hydrogen](https://github.com/Shopify/hydrogen/issues/new/choose)
