CVE-2023-34109
zxcvbn-ts es un estimador de fortaleza de contraseñas de código abierto escrito en TypeScript. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a los usuarios que ejecutan la plataforma nodeJS y que utilizan el segundo argumento de la función zxcvbn. Puede provocar un consumo de recursos no acotado, ya que el array de entradas del usuario se amplía con cada llamada a la función.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
Los navegadores también se ven afectados, aunque un único usuario necesita realizar muchos cambios de entrada para que afecte al navegador, mientras que el proceso de node recibe las entradas de todos los usuarios de una plataforma y puede ser terminado de esa forma. Este problema se ha corregido en la versión 3.0.2. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen. Los usuarios que no puedan actualizar deben dejar de utilizar el segundo argumento de la función zxcvbn y usar la función zxcvbnOptions.setOptions.

"value": "zxcvbn-ts is an open source password strength estimator written in typescript. This vulnerability affects users running on the nodeJS platform which are using the second argument of the zxcvbn function. It can result in an unbounded resource consumption as the user inputs array is extended with every function call. Browsers are impacted, too but a single user need to do a lot of input changes so that it affects the browser, while the node process gets the inputs of every user of a platform and can be killed that way. This problem has been patched in version 3.0.2. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should stop using the second argument of the zxcvbn function and use the zxcvbnOptions.setOptions function."
