How to Fix CVE-2015-9242

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

ecstatic fixed: 1.4.0 
npm install ecstatic@1.4.0
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 ecstatic

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2015-9242, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls ecstatic

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ecstatic in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.4.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls ecstatic 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-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption, where the product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource. In Ecstatic, 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

Versions of `ecstatic` prior to 1.4.0 are affected by a denial of service vulnerability when certain input strings are sent via the `Last-Modified` or `If-Modified-Since` headers. Parsing certain inputs with `new Date()` or `Date.parse()` cases v8 to crash. As ecstatic passes the value of the affected headers into one of these functions, sending certain inputs via one of the headers will cause the server to crash. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.4.0 or later.
