    Remote Memory Exposure in request

    CVE-2017-16026 · GHSA-7xfp-9c55-5vqj

    Affected
    • npm request >= 2.49.0, < 2.68.0; >= 2.2.6, < 2.68.0
    Fixed in
    2.68.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Affected versions of `request` will disclose local system memory to remote systems in certain circumstances. When a multipart request is made, and the type of `body` is `number`, then a buffer of that size will be allocated and sent to the remote server as the body. Proof of Concept ```js var request = require('request'); var http = require('http'); var serveFunction = function (req, res){ req.on('data', function (data) { console.log(data) }); res.end(); }; var server = http.createServer(serveFunction); server.listen(8000); request({ method: "POST", uri: 'http://localhost:8000', multipart: [{body:500}] },function(err,res,body){}); ``` Recommendation Update to version 2.68.0 or later

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.68.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
