How to Fix GHSA-8948-ffc6-jg52

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

redbird fixed: Latest secure release 
npm install redbird@Latest secure release
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 redbird

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-8948-ffc6-jg52, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls redbird

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

Note: The npm ls redbird 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-20: Improper Input Validation, where the product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. In Redbird, 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 `redbird` prior to 0.9.1 have a vulnerable default configuration of allowing TLS 1.0 connections on `lib/proxy.js`. The package does not provide an option to disable TLS 1.0 which is deprecated and vulnerable. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 0.9.1 or later.
