Prototype Pollution in sheetJS

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 24, 2023 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Nov 6, 2023

Package

npm xlsx (npm)

Affected versions

< 0.19.3

Patched versions

0.19.3

Description

All versions of SheetJS CE through 0.19.2 are vulnerable to "Prototype Pollution" when reading specially crafted files. Workflows that do not read arbitrary files (for example, exporting data to spreadsheet files) are unaffected.

A non-vulnerable version cannot be found via npm, as the repository hosted on GitHub and the npm package xlsx are no longer maintained.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
