CVE-2024-47885

Summary

A DOM Clobbering gadget has been discoverd in Astro's client-side router. It can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) in websites enables Astro's client-side routing and has stored attacker-controlled scriptless HTML elements (i.e., iframe tags with unsanitized name attributes) on the destination pages.

Details

Backgrounds

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. More for information about DOM Clobbering, here are some references:

[1] https://scnps.co/papers/sp23_domclob.pdf
[2] https://research.securitum.com/xss-in-amp4email-dom-clobbering/

Gadgets found in Astro

We identified a DOM Clobbering gadget in Astro's client-side routing module, specifically in the <ViewTransitions /> component. When integrated, this component introduces the following vulnerable code, which is executed during page transitions (e.g., clicking an <a> link):

https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/7814a6cad15f06931f963580176d9b38aa7819f2/packages/astro/src/transitions/router.ts#L135-L156

However, this implementation is vulnerable to a DOM Clobbering attack. The document.scripts lookup can be shadowed by an attacker injected non-script HTML elements (e.g., <img name="scripts"><img name="scripts">) via the browser's named DOM access mechanism. This manipulation allows an attacker to replace the intended script elements with an array of attacker-controlled scriptless HTML elements.

The condition script.dataset.astroExec === '' on line 138 can be bypassed because the attacker-controlled element does not have a data-astroExec attribute. Similarly, the check on line 134 can be bypassed as the element does not require a type attribute.

Finally, the innerHTML of an attacker-injected non-script HTML elements, which is plain text content before, will be set to the .innerHTML of an script element that leads to XSS.

PoC

Consider a web application using Astro as the framework with client-side routing enabled and allowing users to embed certain scriptless HTML elements (e.g., form or iframe). This can be done through a bunch of website's feature that allows users to embed certain script-less HTML (e.g., markdown renderers, web email clients, forums) or via an HTML injection vulnerability in third-party JavaScript loaded on the page.

For PoC website, please refer to: https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-4xgj2d. Clicking the "about" button in the menu will trigger an alert(1) from an attacker-injected form element.

Impact

This vulnerability can result in cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on websites that built with Astro that enable the client-side routing with ViewTransitions and store the user-inserted scriptless HTML tags without properly sanitizing the name attributes on the page.

Patch

We recommend replacing document.scripts with document.getElementsByTagName('script') for referring to script elements. This will mitigate the possibility of DOM Clobbering attacks leveraging the name attribute.

Release Notes

withastro/astro (astro)

v4.16.1

Compare Source

Patch Changes

  • #​12177 a4ffbfa Thanks @​matthewp! - Ensure we target scripts for execution in the router

    Using document.scripts is unsafe because if the application has a name="scripts" this will shadow the built-in document.scripts. Fix is to use getElementsByTagName to ensure we're only grabbing real scripts.

  • #​12173 2d10de5 Thanks @​ematipico! - Fixes a bug where Astro Actions couldn't redirect to the correct pathname when there was a rewrite involved.

v4.16.0

Compare Source

Minor Changes

  • #​12039 710a1a1 Thanks @​ematipico! - Adds a markdown.shikiConfig.langAlias option that allows aliasing a non-supported code language to a known language. This is useful when the language of your code samples is not a built-in Shiki language, but you want your Markdown source to contain an accurate language while also displaying syntax highlighting.

    The following example configures Shiki to highlight cjs code blocks using the javascript syntax highlighter:

    import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';

export default defineConfig({
  markdown: {
    shikiConfig: {
      langAlias: {
        cjs: 'javascript',
      },
    },
  },
});

    Then in your Markdown, you can use the alias as the language for a code block for syntax highlighting:

    ```cjs
'use strict';

function commonJs() {
  return 'I am a commonjs file';
}
```

  • #​11984 3ac2263 Thanks @​chaegumi! - Adds a new build.concurreny configuration option to specify the number of pages to build in parallel

    In most cases, you should not change the default value of 1.

    Use this option only when other attempts to reduce the overall rendering time (e.g. batch or cache long running tasks like fetch calls or data access) are not possible or are insufficient.

    Use this option only if the refactors are not possible. If the number is set too high, the page rendering may slow down due to insufficient memory resources and because JS is single-threaded.

    [!WARNING]
    This feature is stable and is not considered experimental. However, this feature is only intended to address difficult performance issues, and breaking changes may occur in a minor release to keep this option as performant as possible.

    // astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro';

export default defineConfig({
  build: {
    concurrency: 2,
  },
});

  • #​12160 c6fd1df Thanks @​louisescher! - Fixes a bug where astro.config.mts and astro.config.cts weren't reloading the dev server upon modifications.

  • #​12130 e96bcae Thanks @​thehansys! - Fixes a bug in the parsing of x-forwarded-\* Request headers, where multiple values assigned to those headers were not correctly parsed.

    Now, headers like x-forwarded-proto: https,http are correctly parsed.

  • #​12147 9db755a Thanks @​ascorbic! - Skips setting statusMessage header for HTTP/2 response

    HTTP/2 doesn't support status message, so setting this was logging a warning.

    When using the image() schema helper, previously paths with an initial slash were treated as public URLs. This was to match the behavior of markdown images. However this is a change from before, where paths with an initial slash were treated as project-relative. This change restores the previous behavior, so that paths with an initial slash are treated as project-relative.

  • #​11939 7b09c62 Thanks @​bholmesdev! - Adds support for Zod discriminated unions on Action form inputs. This allows forms with different inputs to be submitted to the same action, using a given input to decide which object should be used for validation.

    This example accepts either a create or update form submission, and uses the type field to determine which object to validate against.

    import { defineAction } from 'astro:actions';
import { z } from 'astro:schema';

export const server = {
  changeUser: defineAction({
    accept: 'form',
    input: z.discriminatedUnion('type', [
      z.object({
        type: z.literal('create'),
        name: z.string(),
        email: z.string().email(),
      }),
      z.object({
        type: z.literal('update'),
        id: z.number(),
        name: z.string(),
        email: z.string().email(),
      }),
    ]),
    async handler(input) {
      if (input.type === 'create') {
        // input is { type: 'create', name: string, email: string }
      } else {
        // input is { type: 'update', id: number, name: string, email: string }
      }
    },
  }),
};

    The corresponding create and update forms may look like this:

Patch Changes

  • #​11879 bd1d4aa Thanks @​matthewp! - Allow passing a cryptography key via ASTRO_KEY

    For Server islands Astro creates a cryptography key in order to hash props for the islands, preventing accidental leakage of secrets.

    If you deploy to an environment with rolling updates then there could be multiple instances of your app with different keys, causing potential key mismatches.

    To fix this you can now pass the ASTRO_KEY environment variable to your build in order to reuse the same key.

    To generate a key use:

    astro create-key

    This will print out an environment variable to set like:

    ASTRO_KEY=PIAuyPNn2aKU/bviapEuc/nVzdzZPizKNo3OqF/5PmQ=

  • #​11729 1c54e63 Thanks @​ematipico! - Adds a new variant sync for the astro:config:setup hook's command property. This value is set when calling the command astro sync.

    If your integration previously relied on knowing how many variants existed for the command property, you must update your logic to account for this new option.

  • #​11743 cce0894 Thanks @​ph1p! - Adds a new, optional property timeout for the client:idle directive.

    This value allows you to specify a maximum time to wait, in milliseconds, before hydrating a UI framework component, even if the page is not yet done with its initial load. This means you can delay hydration for lower-priority UI elements with more control to ensure your element is interactive within a specified time frame.

    <ShowHideButton client:idle={{ timeout: 500 }} />

  • #​11677 cb356a5 Thanks @​ematipico! - Adds a new option fallbackType to i18n.routing configuration that allows you to control how fallback pages are handled.

    When i18n.fallback is configured, this new routing option controls whether to redirect to the fallback page, or to rewrite the fallback page's content in place.

    The "redirect" option is the default value and matches the current behavior of the existing fallback system.

    The option "rewrite" uses the new rewriting system to create fallback pages that render content on the original, requested URL without a browser refresh.

    For example, the following configuration will generate a page /fr/index.html that will contain the same HTML rendered by the page /en/index.html when src/pages/fr/index.astro does not exist.

    // astro.config.mjs
export default defineConfig({
  i18n: {
    locals: ['en', 'fr'],
    defaultLocale: 'en',
    routing: {
      prefixDefaultLocale: true,
      fallbackType: 'rewrite',
    },
    fallback: {
      fr: 'en',
    },
  },
});

  • #​11708 62b0d20 Thanks @​martrapp! - Adds a new object swapFunctions to expose the necessary utility functions on astro:transitions/client that allow you to build custom swap functions to be used with view transitions.

    The example below uses these functions to replace Astro's built-in default swap function with one that only swaps the <main> part of the page:

    <script>
  import { swapFunctions } from 'astro:transitions/client';

  document.addEventListener('astro:before-swap', (e) => { e.swap = () => swapMainOnly(e.newDocument) });

  function swapMainOnly(doc: Document) {
    swapFunctions.deselectScripts(doc);
    swapFunctions.swapRootAttributes(doc);
    swapFunctions.swapHeadElements(doc);
    const restoreFocusFunction = swapFunctions.saveFocus();
    const newMain = doc.querySelector('main');
    const oldMain = document.querySelector('main');
    if (newMain && oldMain) {
      swapFunctions.swapBodyElement(newMain, oldMain);
    } else {
      swapFunctions.swapBodyElement(doc.body, document.body);
    }
    restoreFocusFunction();
  };
</script>

    See the view transitions guide for more information about hooking into the astro:before-swap lifecycle event and adding a custom swap implementation.

  • #​11692 35af73a Thanks @​matthewp! - Prevent errant HTML from crashing server islands

    When an HTML minifier strips away the server island comment, the script can't correctly know where the end of the fallback content is. This makes it so that it simply doesn't remove any DOM in that scenario. This means the fallback isn't removed, but it also doesn't crash the browser.

v4.14.0

Minor Changes

  • #​11657 a23c69d Thanks @​bluwy! - Deprecates the option for route-generating files to export a dynamic value for prerender. Only static values are now supported (e.g. export const prerender = true or = false). This allows for better treeshaking and bundling configuration in the future.

    Adds a new "astro:route:setup" hook to the Integrations API to allow you to dynamically set options for a route at build or request time through an integration, such as enabling on-demand server rendering.

    To migrate from a dynamic export to the new hook, update or remove any dynamic prerender exports from individual routing files:

    // src/pages/blog/[slug].astro
- export const prerender = import.meta.env.PRERENDER

    Instead, create an integration with the "astro:route:setup" hook and update the route's prerender option:

    // astro.config.mjs
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import { loadEnv } from 'vite';

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [setPrerender()],
});

function setPrerender() {
  const { PRERENDER } = loadEnv(process.env.NODE_ENV, process.cwd(), '');

  return {
    name: 'set-prerender',
    hooks: {
      'astro:route:setup': ({ route }) => {
        if (route.component.endsWith('/blog/[slug].astro')) {
          route.prerender = PRERENDER;
        }
      },
    },
  };
}

  • #​11360 a79a8b0 Thanks @​ascorbic! - Adds a new injectTypes() utility to the Integration API and refactors how type generation works

    Use injectTypes() in the astro:config:done hook to inject types into your user's project by adding a new a *.d.ts file.

    The filename property will be used to generate a file at /.astro/integrations/<normalized_integration_name>/<normalized_filename>.d.ts and must end with ".d.ts".

    The content property will create the body of the file, and must be valid TypeScript.

    Additionally, injectTypes() returns a URL to the normalized path so you can overwrite its content later on, or manipulate it in any way you want.

    // my-integration/index.js
export default {
  name: 'my-integration',
  'astro:config:done': ({ injectTypes }) => {
    injectTypes({
      filename: 'types.d.ts',
      content: "declare module 'virtual:my-integration' {}",
    });
  },
};

    Codegen has been refactored. Although src/env.d.ts will continue to work as is, we recommend you update it:

    - /// <reference types="astro/client" />
+ /// <reference path="../.astro/types.d.ts" />
- /// <reference path="../.astro/env.d.ts" />
- /// <reference path="../.astro/actions.d.ts" />

  • #​11658 13b912a Thanks @​bholmesdev! - Fixes orThrow() type when calling an Action without an input validator.

  • #​11603 f31d466 Thanks @​bholmesdev! - Improves user experience when render an Action result from a form POST request:

    • Removes "Confirm post resubmission?" dialog when refreshing a result.
    • Removes the ?_astroAction=NAME flag when a result is rendered.

    Also improves the DX of directing to a new route on success. Actions will now redirect to the route specified in your action string on success, and redirect back to the previous page on error. This follows the routing convention of established backend frameworks like Laravel.

    For example, say you want to redirect to a /success route when actions.signup succeeds. You can add /success to your action string like so:

    <form method="POST" action={'/success' + actions.signup}></form>
    • On success, Astro will redirect to /success.
    • On error, Astro will redirect back to the current page.

    You can retrieve the action result from either page using the Astro.getActionResult() function.

Note on security

This uses a temporary cookie to forward the action result to the next page. The cookie will be deleted when that page is rendered.

⚠ The action result is not encrypted. In general, we recommend returning minimal data from an action handler to a) avoid leaking sensitive information, and b) avoid unexpected render issues once the temporary cookie is deleted. For example, a login function may return a user's session id to retrieve from your Astro frontmatter, rather than the entire user object.
