CVE-2022-39382: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')

November 3, 2022 (updated November 4, 2022)

Keystone is a headless CMS for Node.js — built with GraphQL and React.@keystone-6/core@3.0.0 || 3.0.1 users that use NODE_ENV to trigger security-sensitive functionality in their production builds is vulnerable to NODE_ENV being inlined to "development" for user code, irrespective of what your environment variables. If you do not use NODE_ENV in your user code to trigger security-sensitive functionality, you are not impacted by this vulnerability. Any dependencies that use NODE_ENV to trigger particular behaviors (optimizations, security or otherwise) should still respect your environment’s configured NODE_ENV variable. The application’s dependencies, as found in node_modules (including @keystone-6/core), are typically not compiled as part of this process, and thus should be unaffected. We have tested this assumption by verifying that NODE_ENV=production yarn keystone start still uses secure cookies when using statelessSessions. This vulnerability has been fixed in @keystone-6/core@3.0.2, regression tests have been added for this vulnerability in #8063.
