How to Fix CVE-2016-10635

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

broccoli-closure fixed: 1.3.1 
npm install broccoli-closure@1.3.1
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 broccoli-closure

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2016-10635, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls broccoli-closure

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Broccoli closure in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.3.1), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls broccoli-closure 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-311: Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data, where the product does not encrypt sensitive or critical information before storage or transmission. In Broccoli closure, 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

Affected versions of `broccoli-closure` insecurely download an executable over an unencrypted HTTP connection. In scenarios where an attacker has a privileged network position, it is possible to intercept the response and replace the executable with a malicious one, resulting in code execution on the system running `broccoli-closure`. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.3.1 or later.
