CVE-2024-43367 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade boa_engine to version 0.19.0 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception due to the handling of AsyncGenerator operations. This allows an attacker to trigger a state transition from a getter method for the then property, which causes the engine to fail an assertion of the assumption.
Workaround
Users who are unable to upgrade to the fixed version can use std::panic::catch_unwind to make sure exceptions caused by the engine won't impact the availability of the main application.
