npm install @kindspells/astro-shield@1.3.0Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @kindspells/astro-shieldHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-29896, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @kindspells/astro-shieldAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of @kindspells/astro shield in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.3.0), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @kindspells/astro-shield 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-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In @kindspells/astro shield, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
