How to Fix CVE-2022-31290

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

idno/known fixed: Latest secure release 
Upgrade idno/known to Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for idno/known

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-31290, inspect your project dependencies for Idno/known:

inspect dependencies for idno/known

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

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

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 Idno/known, 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

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Known v1.3.1 allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Your Name text field. The researcher report indicates that versions 1.3.1 and prior are vulnerable. Version 1.2.2 is the last version tagged on GitHub and in Packagist, and development related to the 1.3.x branch is currently on the `dev` branch of the idno/known repository.
