CVE-2024-39003
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2024-39003 is a prototype pollution vulnerability in amoyjs amoy common v1.0.10 that allows attackers to inject arbitrary properties into objects. This can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service. Anyone using the vulnerable version of this JavaScript library is affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- amoyjs amoy common
📦 What is this software?
Common by Amoyjs
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Remote code execution leading to complete system compromise, data theft, or persistent backdoor installation.
Likely Case
Denial of service through application crashes or instability, potentially allowing privilege escalation in multi-user environments.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and sandboxing, potentially only causing application errors.
🎯 Exploit Status
Proof of concept available in GitHub gists, exploitation requires attacker to control input to setValue function.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: v1.0.11 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/amoyjs/amoy-common
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Update package.json to use amoy-common v1.0.11 or later. 2. Run npm update amoy-common. 3. Restart all affected applications. 4. Test functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input validation wrapper
allWrap setValue calls with input validation to reject suspicious property names
// Implement input validation before calling setValue
function safeSetValue(obj, path, value) {
if (path.includes('__proto__') || path.includes('constructor') || path.includes('prototype')) {
throw new Error('Invalid property path');
}
return setValue(obj, path, value);
}
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict Content Security Policy (CSP) to limit script execution
- Isolate the vulnerable component in a sandboxed environment or container
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check package.json or node_modules/amoy-common/package.json for version 1.0.10
Check Version:
npm list amoy-common | grep amoy-common
Verify Fix Applied:
Verify package.json shows version 1.0.11 or later and test setValue with malicious inputs
