How to Fix CVE-2014-7193

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

crumb fixed: 3.0.0 
npm install crumb@3.0.0
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 crumb

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2014-7193, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls crumb

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Crumb in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.0.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls crumb 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-284: Improper Access Control, where the product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor. In Crumb, 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

When CORS is enabled on a hapi route handler, it is possible to set a crumb token for a different domain. An attacker would need to have an application consumer visit a site they control, request a route supporting CORS, and then retrieve the token. With this token, they could possibly make requests to non CORS routes as this user. A configuration and scenario where this would occur is unlikely, as most configurations will set CORS globally (where crumb is not used), or not at all. ## Recommendation Update to version 3.0.0 or greater.
