Cross-Site Scripting in shave

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 29, 2019 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 9, 2023

Package

npm shave (npm)

Affected versions

< 2.5.3

Patched versions

2.5.3

Description

Versions of shave prior to 2.5.3 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The shave package overwrites HTML elements and in doing so fails to properly encode the output. If encoded HTML input is passed into shave the output will be decoded which may lead to Cross-Site Scripting.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 2.5.3 or later.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
