    Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') dsfsdf

    express is a minimalist web framework.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') through the response.links function. An attacker can inject arbitrary resources into the Link header by using unsanitized input that includes special characters such as commas, semicolons, and angle brackets.

    How to fix Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')?

    Upgrade express to version 4.0.0-rc1 or higher.

    <4.0.0-rc1

    Open Redirect dsfsdf

    express is a minimalist web framework.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect via the location() method in response.js.

    Notes:

    1. Express 3 has reached End-of-Life and will not receive any updates to address this issue.

    2. This vulnerability is achievable only when: a request path begins with double slashes // and a relative path for redirection begins with ./ and is provided from user-controlled input and the Location header is set with that user-controlled input.

    How to fix Open Redirect?

    Upgrade express to version 4.0.0 or higher.

    >=3.4.5 <4.0.0

    Cross-site Scripting dsfsdf

    express is a minimalist web framework.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting due to improper handling of user input in the response.redirect method. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by passing malicious input to this method.

    Note

    To exploit this vulnerability, the following conditions are required:

    1. The attacker should be able to control the input to response.redirect()

    2. express must not redirect before the template appears

    3. the browser must not complete redirection before:

    4. the user must click on the link in the template

    How to fix Cross-site Scripting?

    Upgrade express to version 4.20.0, 5.0.0 or higher.

    <4.20.0>=5.0.0-alpha.1 <5.0.0

    Open Redirect dsfsdf

    express is a minimalist web framework.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect due to the implementation of URL encoding using encodeurl before passing it to the location header. This can lead to unexpected evaluations of malformed URLs by common redirect allow list implementations in applications, allowing an attacker to bypass a properly implemented allow list and redirect users to malicious sites.

    How to fix Open Redirect?

    Upgrade express to version 4.19.2, 5.0.0-beta.3 or higher.

    <4.19.2>=5.0.0-alpha.1 <5.0.0-beta.3

    Cross-site Scripting (XSS) dsfsdf

    express is a minimalist web framework.

    Affected versions of this package do not enforce the user's browser to set a specific charset in the content-type header while displaying 400 level response messages. This could be used by remote attackers to perform a cross-site scripting attack, by using non-standard encodings like UTF-7.
