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-2022-37620 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- html-minifier (npm): affected all versions up to 4.0.0; no fix listed\n- html-minifier (npm): affected all versions up to 4.0.0; 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-2022-37620/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-37620/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-37620","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-37620/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-37620","record":{"aliases":["CLSA-2026-1774657356","CLSA-2026-1792745496","GHSA-pfq8-rq6v-vf5m","MINI-v7v7-j5qf-mwrq","ROOT-APP-NPM-CVE-2022-37620"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HTML minifier library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service in applications using html-minifier by exploiting a Regular Expression Denial of Service flaw.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"html-minifier","vendor":"kangax"},{"product":"html-minifier-terser","vendor":"terser"}],"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 kangax html-minifier 4.0.0 because of the reCustomIgnore regular expression.","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":"kangax html-minifier REDoS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-37620","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2022"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"thlorenz browserify-shim vulnerable to prototype pollution","id":"CVE-2022-37621"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["4.0.0"],"package":"html-minifier","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-pfq8-rq6v-vf5m"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["4.0.0"],"package":"html-minifier","purl":"pkg:npm/html-minifier","source":"GHSA-pfq8-rq6v-vf5m"}],"prev":{"headline":"thlorenz browserify-shim vulnerable to prototype pollution","id":"CVE-2022-37617"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-10-31","related":[],"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":"2025-06-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service in applications using html-minifier by exploiting a Regular Expression Denial of Service flaw.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-37620/"}
