NodeJS/tough-cookie/1.0.0

tough-cookie Prototype Pollution vulnerability

Versions of the package tough-cookie before 4.1.3 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution due to improper handling of Cookies when using CookieJar in rejectPublicSuffixes=false mode. This issue arises from the manner in which the objects are initialized.

Regular Expression Denial of Service in tough-cookie

Affected versions of tough-cookie are susceptible to a regular expression denial of service.

The amplification on this vulnerability is relatively low - it takes around 2 seconds for the engine to execute on a malicious input which is 50,000 characters in length.

If node was compiled using the -DHTTP_MAX_HEADER_SIZE however, the impact of the vulnerability can be significant, as the primary limitation for the vulnerability is the default max HTTP header length in node.

Recommendation

Update to version 2.3.3 or later.

ReDoS via long string of semicolons in tough-cookie

Affected versions of tough-cookie may be vulnerable to regular expression denial of service when long strings of semicolons exist in the Set-Cookie header.

Recommendation

Update to version 2.3.0 or later.

ReDoS via long string of semicolons

Tough-cookie is a cookie parsing and management library.

Versions 0.9.7 through 2.2.2 contain a vulnerable regular expression that, under certain conditions involving long strings of semicolons in the Set-Cookie header, causes the event loop to block for excessive amounts of time.
