JavaScript vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2022-33987 affects the got package versions before 12.1.0 (and before 11.8.5) for Node.js. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed in June 2022, specifically allowing a redirect to a UNIX socket, which poses potential security risks (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 5.3 (MEDIUM) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. The issue stems from missing verification of requested URLs that could allow redirects to UNIX sockets (Red Hat).
Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers to potentially redirect requests to UNIX sockets, which could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive local services. This is particularly concerning as servers running on UNIX sockets tend to be more critical services, such as Docker (Got PR).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been fixed in got package versions 12.1.0 and 11.8.5. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to mitigate the security risk. The fix involves disabling redirects to UNIX sockets by default (Got Release).
