An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-9772 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- validator (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2.0.0\n- validator (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 2.0.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9772/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9772/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-9772","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9772/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-9772","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-79mx-88w7-8f7q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Node.js validator library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass the XSS filter in the Node.js validator library by using hex-encoded characters, potentially allowing script injection.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"node.js","vendor":"nodejs"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The validator package before 2.0.0 for Node.js allows remote attackers to bypass the cross-site scripting (XSS) filter via hex-encoded characters.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"XSS Filter Bypass via Encoded URL in validator","id":"CVE-2014-9772","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":"nodejs:node.js","products":["nodejs:node.js"],"type":"xss","year":"2014"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9773"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["2.0.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"validator","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-79mx-88w7-8f7q"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["2.0.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"validator","purl":"pkg:npm/validator","source":"GHSA-79mx-88w7-8f7q"}],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9771"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-01-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Node","id":"CVE-2023-32002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-16"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Node.js","id":"CVE-2017-15896","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in Node.js","id":"CVE-2018-7160","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Misconfiguration in Node.js","id":"CVE-2018-12120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-28"},{"cvss_score":7.9,"headline":"Path traversal in Node","id":"CVE-2024-21891","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-20"},{"cvss_score":7.9,"headline":"Path traversal in Node","id":"CVE-2024-21896","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-20"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass the XSS filter in the Node.js validator library by using hex-encoded characters, potentially allowing script injection.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9772/"}
