How to Fix CVE-2024-25466
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected React native document picker 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 react-native-document-picker@9.1.1npm install react-native-document-picker@8.2.2Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls react-native-document-pickerHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-25466, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls react-native-document-pickerAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of React native document picker in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 9.1.1), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls react-native-document-picker 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-26: Path Traversal: '/dir/../filename', where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize "/dir/../filename" sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. In React native document picker, 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.
