Advisories for Npm/Serialize-Javascript package

The serialize-javascript npm package (versions <= 7.0.2) contains a code injection vulnerability. It is an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-7660. While RegExp.source is sanitized, RegExp.flags is interpolated directly into the generated output without escaping. A similar issue exists in Date.prototype.toISOString(). If an attacker can control the input object passed to serialize(), they can inject malicious JavaScript via the flags property of a RegExp object. When the serialized string is later evaluated …

A flaw was found in npm-serialize-javascript. The vulnerability occurs because the serialize-javascript module does not properly sanitize certain inputs, such as regex or other JavaScript object types, allowing an attacker to inject malicious code. This code could be executed when deserialized by a web browser, causing Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This issue is critical in environments where serialized data is sent to web clients, potentially compromising the security of the …

serialize-javascript allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary code via the function deleteFunctions within index.js.

The serialize-javascript npm package is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). It does not properly mitigate against unsafe characters in serialized regular expressions. If serialized data of regular expression objects are used in an environment other than Node.js, it is affected by this vulnerability.
