CVE-2022-37601:
JavaScript vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A prototype pollution vulnerability was discovered in webpack loader-utils affecting all versions prior to 1.4.1 and 2.0.3. The vulnerability exists in the parseQuery function within parseQuery.js file, specifically through the name variable (NVD, Debian Security).
Technical details
The vulnerability is located in the parseQuery function of parseQuery.js, which processes query strings in webpack loader-utils. The issue arises from improper handling of the name variable during query string parsing, potentially allowing an attacker to manipulate JavaScript object prototypes (GitHub Issue).
Impact
The vulnerability could allow an attacker to perform prototype pollution attacks, which may lead to application security issues including potential remote code execution or denial of service conditions. This affects applications using webpack loader-utils for processing query strings (Red Hat Advisory).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users should upgrade to loader-utils version 1.4.1 or 2.0.3 or later to address this vulnerability. For Debian 10 (buster) users, the fix is available in version 1.1.0-2+deb10u1 (Debian Advisory).
