How to Fix CVE-2022-24373

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

react-native-reanimated fixed: 2.10.0 
npm install react-native-reanimated@2.10.0
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 react-native-reanimated

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2022-24373, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls react-native-reanimated

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of React native reanimated in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.10.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls react-native-reanimated 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-1333: Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity, where the product uses a regular expression with a worst-case computational complexity that is inefficient and possibly exponential. In React native reanimated, 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

The package react-native-reanimated before 2.10.0 is vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) due to improper usage of regular expression in the parser of Colors.js.
