Security Advisories 🚨

🚨 Regular Expression Denial of Service in Handlebars

Handlebars before 4.4.5 allows Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) because of eager matching. The parser may be forced into an endless loop while processing crafted templates. This may allow attackers to exhaust system resources.

🚨 Prototype Pollution in handlebars

The package handlebars before 4.7.7 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution when selecting certain compiling options to compile templates coming from an untrusted source.

🚨 Arbitrary Code Execution in Handlebars

Handlebars before 3.0.8 and 4.x before 4.5.3 is vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. The lookup helper fails to properly validate templates, allowing attackers to submit templates that execute arbitrary JavaScript. This can be used to run arbitrary code on a server processing Handlebars templates or in a victim's browser (effectively serving as XSS).

This can be used to run arbitrary code on a server processing Handlebars templates or in a victim's browser (effectively serving as XSS).

🚨 Remote code execution in handlebars when compiling templates

The package handlebars before 4.7.7 are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) when selecting certain compiling options to compile templates coming from an untrusted source.

🚨 Arbitrary Code Execution in handlebars

Versions of handlebars prior to 3.0.8 or 4.5.3 are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. The package's lookup helper fails to properly validate templates, allowing attackers to submit templates that execute arbitrary JavaScript in the system. It is due to an incomplete fix for a previous issue. This vulnerability can be used to run arbitrary code in a server processing Handlebars templates or on a victim's browser (effectively serving as Cross-Site Scripting).

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.0.8, 4.5.3 or later.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.0.8, 4.5.3 or later.

🚨 Prototype Pollution in handlebars

Versions of handlebars prior to 3.0.8 or 4.5.3 are vulnerable to prototype pollution. It is possible to add or modify properties to the Object prototype through a malicious template. This may allow attackers to crash the application or execute Arbitrary Code in specific conditions.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.0.8, 4.5.3 or later.

Recommendation

🚨 Arbitrary Code Execution in handlebars

Versions of handlebars prior to 3.0.8 or 4.5.2 are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. The package's lookup helper fails to properly validate templates, allowing attackers to submit templates that execute arbitrary JavaScript in the system. It can be used to run arbitrary code in a server processing Handlebars templates or on a victim's browser (effectively serving as Cross-Site Scripting).

The following template can be used to demonstrate the vulnerability:

	{{#with split as |a|}}
		{{pop (push "alert('Vulnerable Handlebars JS');")}}
		{{#with (concat (lookup join (slice 0 1)))}}
			{{#each (slice 2 3)}}
				{{#with (apply 0 a)}}
					{{.}}
				{{/with}}
			{{/each}}
		{{/with}}
	{{/with}}
{{/with}}```
Recommendation
Upgrade to version 3.0.8, 4.5.2 or later.

				{{/with}}
			{{/each}}

Recommendation
Upgrade to version 3.0.8, 4.5.2 or later.

🚨 Denial of Service in handlebars

Affected versions of handlebars are vulnerable to Denial of Service. The package's parser may be forced into an endless loop while processing specially-crafted templates. This may allow attackers to exhaust system resources leading to Denial of Service.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 4.4.5 or later.

🚨 Prototype Pollution in handlebars

Versions of handlebars prior to 3.0.8 or 4.3.0 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution leading to Remote Code Execution. Templates may alter an Objects' __proto__ and __defineGetter__ properties, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code through crafted payloads.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.0.8, 4.3.0 or later.

🚨 High severity vulnerability that affects handlebars

Versions of handlebars prior to 4.3.0 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution leading to Remote Code Execution. Templates may alter an Object's proto and defineGetter properties, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code through crafted payloads.

🚨 Prototype Pollution in handlebars

Versions of handlebars prior to 4.0.14 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. Templates may alter an Objects' prototype, thus allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server.

Recommendation

For handlebars 4.1.x upgrade to 4.1.2 or later.
For handlebars 4.0.x upgrade to 4.0.14 or later.

🚨 Prototype Pollution in handlebars

Versions of handlebars prior to 4.0.14 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. Templates may alter an Objects' prototype, thus allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server.

Recommendation

For handlebars 4.1.x upgrade to 4.1.2 or later.
For handlebars 4.0.x upgrade to 4.0.14 or later.

Versions of handlebars prior to 4.0.14 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. Templates may alter an Objects' prototype, thus allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server.

Recommendation

For handlebars 4.1.x upgrade to 4.1.2 or later.
For handlebars 4.0.x upgrade to 4.0.14 or later.

🚨 Moderate severity vulnerability that affects handlebars

The handlebars package before 4.0.0 for Node.js allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by leveraging a template with an attribute that is not quoted.

👉 No CI detected

You don't seem to have any Continuous Integration service set up!

Without a service that will test the Depfu branches and pull requests, we can't inform you if incoming updates actually work with your app. We think that this degrades the service we're trying to provide down to a point where it is more or less meaningless.

This is fine if you just want to give Depfu a quick try. If you want to really let Depfu help you keep your app up-to-date, we recommend setting up a CI system:

* [Circle CI](https://circleci.com), [Semaphore ](https://semaphoreci.com) and [Github Actions](https://docs.github.com/actions) are all excellent options. * If you use something like Jenkins, make sure that you're using the Github integration correctly so that it reports status data back to Github. * If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check your configuration. Make sure it will run on all new branches. If you don’t want it to run on every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with `depfu/`.
