GitHub Vulnerability Alerts
CVE-2024-28863
Description:
During some analysis today on npm's
node-tar
package I came across the folder creation process, Basicly if you provide node-tar with a path like this./a/b/c/foo.txt
it would create every folder and sub-folder here a, b and c until it reaches the last folder to createfoo.txt
, In-this case I noticed that there's no validation at all on the amount of folders being created, that said we're actually able to CPU and memory consume the system running node-tar and even crash the nodejs client within few seconds of running it using a path with too many sub-folders insideSteps To Reproduce:
You can reproduce this issue by downloading the tar file I provided in the resources and using node-tar to extract it, you should get the same behavior as the video
Proof Of Concept:
Here's a video show-casing the exploit:
Impact
Denial of service by crashing the nodejs client when attempting to parse a tar archive, make it run out of heap memory and consuming server CPU and memory resources
