How to Fix CVE-2024-47764

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

cookie fixed: 0.7.0 
npm install cookie@0.7.0
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 cookie

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-47764, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls cookie

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Cookie 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 cookie 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 Cookie, 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 The cookie name could be used to set other fields of the cookie, resulting in an unexpected cookie value. For example, `serialize("userName=<script>alert('XSS3')</script>; Max-Age=2592000; a", value)` would result in `"userName=<script>alert('XSS3')</script>; Max-Age=2592000; a=test"`, setting `userName` cookie to `<script>` and ignoring `value`. A similar escape can be used for `path` and `domain`, which could be abused to alter other fields of the cookie. ### Patches Upgrade to 0.7.0, which updates the validation for `name`, `path`, and `domain`. ### Workarounds Avoid passing untrusted or arbitrary values for these fields, ensure they are set by the application instead of user input. ### References * https://github.com/jshttp/cookie/pull/167
