How to Fix CVE-2024-23841
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @apollo/experimental nextjs app support 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 @apollo/experimental-nextjs-app-support@0.7.0Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @apollo/experimental-nextjs-app-supportHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-23841, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @apollo/experimental-nextjs-app-supportAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of @apollo/experimental nextjs app support in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.7.0), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @apollo/experimental-nextjs-app-support 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-80: Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS), where the product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. In @apollo/experimental nextjs app support, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
