JavaScript vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
sqlite-vec version 0.1.1 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the npytokennext function. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on September 25, 2024. This security flaw affects the sqlite-vec extension, which is a vector search SQLite extension with approximately 3.6k stars on GitHub (Github Source).
Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the npytokennext function when parsing numpy files. When processing a character 'F', the function attempts to determine if the word is 'False' using strncmp without validating if there is sufficient readable data available. If the data length is less than strlen('False'), it causes an out-of-bounds read operation. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM) with vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (NVD).
Impact
The exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition through a crafted file. The heap buffer overflow can cause the application to crash or become unresponsive (NVD).
