An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-37259 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- steal (npm): affected all versions up to 2.3.0; no fix listed\n- steal (npm): affected all versions up to 2.3.0; no fix listed\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-2022-37259/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-37259/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-37259","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-37259/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-37259","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rgqx-226f-2xp4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"JavaScript build tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service in stealjs by exploiting a Regular Expression Denial of Service flaw in the babel.js component.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"steal","vendor":"stealjs"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1333","name":"Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity"}],"description":"A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) flaw was found in stealjs steal 2.2.4 via the string variable in babel.js.","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":false,"headline":"steal Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity vulnerability via string variable","id":"CVE-2022-37259","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2022"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"steal vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service via input variable","id":"CVE-2022-37260"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["2.3.0"],"package":"steal","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-rgqx-226f-2xp4"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["2.3.0"],"package":"steal","purl":"pkg:npm/steal","source":"GHSA-rgqx-226f-2xp4"}],"prev":{"headline":"steal vulnerable to Prototype Pollution","id":"CVE-2022-37258"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-09-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"steal vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via alias variable","id":"CVE-2022-37265","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"steal vulnerable to Prototype Pollution","id":"CVE-2022-37258","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"steal vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via requestedVersion variable","id":"CVE-2022-37257","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"steal vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via optionName variable","id":"CVE-2022-37264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"steal vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via key variable in babel.js","id":"CVE-2022-37266","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-15"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"steal vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service via input variable","id":"CVE-2022-37260","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-15"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-28","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service in stealjs by exploiting a Regular Expression Denial of Service flaw in the babel.js component.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-37259/"}
