CVE-2024-54134 at a Glance
How to Fix CVE-2024-54134
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @solana/web3.js 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 @solana/web3.js@1.95.8Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @solana/web3.jsHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-54134, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @solana/web3.jsAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of @solana/web3.js in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.95.8), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @solana/web3.js command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

"details" : "Earlier today, a publish-access account was compromised for `@solana/web3.js`, a JavaScript library that is commonly used by Solana dapps. This allowed an attacker to publish unauthorized and malicious packages that were modified, allowing them to steal private key material and drain funds from dapps, like bots, that handle private keys directly. This issue should not affect non-custodial wallets, as they generally do not expose private keys during transactions. This is not an issue with the Solana protocol itself, but with a specific JavaScript client library and only appears to affect projects that directly handle private keys and that updated within the window of 3:20pm UTC and 8:25pm UTC on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.\n\nThese two unauthorized versions (1.95.6 and 1.95.7) were caught within hours and have since been unpublished.\n\nWe are asking all Solana app developers to upgrade to version 1.95.8. Developers pinned to `latest` should also upgrade to 1.95.8.\n\nDevelopers that suspect they might be compromised should rotate any suspect authority keys, including multisigs, program authorities, server keypairs, and so on.",
