Advisories for Npm/Socket.io-File package

Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-6495-8jvh-f28x. This link is maintained to preserve external references. Original Description "The socket.io-file package through 2.0.31 for Node.js relies on client-side validation of file types, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading an executable file via a modified JSON name field. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the …

All versions of socket.io-fileare vulnerable to a file restriction bypass. The validation for valid file types only happens on the client-side, which allows an attacker to intercept the Websocket request post-validation and alter the name value to upload any file types. No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.

A Path Traversal issue was discovered in the socket.io-file package for Node.js. The socket.io-file::createFile message uses path.join with ../ in the name option, and the uploadDir and rename options determine the path.
