How to Fix CVE-2020-15262

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

webpack-subresource-integrity fixed: 1.5.1 
npm install webpack-subresource-integrity@1.5.1
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 webpack-subresource-integrity

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2020-15262, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls webpack-subresource-integrity

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Webpack subresource integrity in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.5.1), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls webpack-subresource-integrity 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-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity, where the product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data. In Webpack subresource integrity, 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

### Impact All dynamically loaded chunks receive an invalid integrity hash that is ignored by the browser, and therefore the browser cannot validate their integrity. This removes the additional level of protection offered by SRI for such chunks. Top-level chunks are unaffected. ### Patches This issue is patched in version 1.5.1. ### Workarounds N/A ### References https://github.com/waysact/webpack-subresource-integrity/issues/131 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Comment on [webpack-subresource-integrity issue #131](https://github.com/waysact/webpack-subresource-integrity/issues/131) * Or email us at [security@waysact.com](mailto:security@waysact.com)
