CVE-2024-42352
Nuxt
CVE-2024-42352 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Nuxt/icon, a module for the Nuxt.js framework. This flaw allows attackers to manipulate the request path and potentially expose sensitive data. Specifically, the improper parsing of the proxied request path in the /api/_nuxt_icon/[name] endpoint enables attackers to change the request's scheme and host. By crafting malicious URLs, attackers can redirect requests to internal servers, potentially accessing sensitive information not intended for public exposure. The CVSS score is 7.5, indicating a high severity, though the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, suggesting a lower real-world risk compared to other vulnerabilities. It's crucial to update to version 1.4.5 or later to mitigate this risk, as there are no known workarounds. The vulnerability arises from the use of the new URL constructor, which is overly lenient in parsing URLs, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary schemes and hosts.
Description
CVE-2024-42352 affects Nuxt, a framework for creating web applications with Vue.js. It allows attackers to manipulate the proxied request path, leading to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). This could result in sensitive data exposure. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.6, indicating high severity. However, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 38, suggesting a lower level of urgency.
