How to fix?

Upgrade Chainguard vitess-22 to version 22.0.4-r9 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vitess-22 package and not the vitess-22 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

Impact:

The fix for CVE-2021-23337 (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-35jh-r3h4-6jhm) added validation for the variable option in _.template but did not apply the same validation to options.imports key names. Both paths flow into the same Function() constructor sink.

When an application passes untrusted input as options.imports key names, an attacker can inject default-parameter expressions that execute arbitrary code at template compilation time.

Additionally, _.template uses assignInWith to merge imports, which enumerates inherited properties via for..in. If Object.prototype has been polluted by any other vector, the polluted keys are copied into the imports object and passed to Function().

Patches:

Users should upgrade to version 4.18.0.

Workarounds:

Do not pass untrusted input as key names in options.imports. Only use developer-controlled, static key names.
