Vulnerability Details

Webpack is a module bundler. Its main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser, yet it is also capable of transforming, bundling, or packaging just about any resource or asset. The webpack developers have discovered a DOM Clobbering vulnerability in Webpack’s "AutoPublicPathRuntimeModule". The DOM Clobbering gadget in the module can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) in web pages where scriptless attacker-controlled HTML elements (e.g., an "img" tag with an unsanitized "name" attribute) are present. Real-world exploitation of this gadget has been observed in the Canvas LMS which allows a XSS attack to happen through a javascript code compiled by Webpack (the vulnerable part is from Webpack). DOM Clobbering is a type of code-reuse attack where the attacker first embeds a piece of non-script, seemingly benign HTML markups in the webpage (e.g. through a post or comment) and leverages the gadgets (pieces of js code) living in the existing javascript code to transform it into executable code. This vulnerability can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) on websites that include Webpack-generated files and allow users to inject certain scriptless HTML tags with improperly sanitized name or id attributes. This issue has been addressed in release version 5.94.0. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Vulnerability Details

Babel is a compiler for writing next generation JavaScript. When using versions of Babel prior to 7.26.10 and 8.0.0-alpha.17 to compile regular expression named capturing groups, Babel will generate a polyfill for the ".replace" method that has quadratic complexity on some specific replacement pattern strings (i.e. the second argument passed to ".replace"). Generated code is vulnerable if all the following conditions are true: Using Babel to compile regular expression named capturing groups, using the ".replace" method on a regular expression that contains named capturing groups, and the code using untrusted strings as the second argument of ".replace". This problem has been fixed in "@babel/helpers" and "@babel/runtime" 7.26.10 and 8.0.0-alpha.17. It's likely that individual users do not directly depend on "@babel/helpers", and instead depend on "@babel/core" (which itself depends on "@babel/helpers"). Upgrading to "@babel/core" 7.26.10 is not required, but it guarantees use of a new enough "@babel/helpers" version. Note that just updating Babel dependencies is not enough; one will also need to re-compile the code. No known workarounds are available.

Vulnerability Details

An issue was discovered in PostCSS before 8.4.31. The vulnerability affects linters using PostCSS to parse external untrusted CSS. An attacker can prepare CSS in such a way that it will contains parts parsed by PostCSS as a CSS comment. After processing by PostCSS, it will be included in the PostCSS output in CSS nodes (rules, properties) despite being included in a comment.
