IT44186: IBM STORAGE INSIGHTS SECURITY APAR FOR CVE-2022-24999

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• CVEID: CVE-2022-24999
  Description: qs before 6.10.3, as used in Express before 4.17.3
  and other products, allows attackers to cause a Node process
  hang for an Express application because an __ proto__ key can be
  used. In many typical Express use cases, an unauthenticated
  remote attacker can place the attack payload in the query string
  of the URL that is used to visit the application, such as
  a[__proto__]=b&a[__proto__]&a[length]=100000000. The fix was
  backported to qs 6.9.7, 6.8.3, 6.7.3, 6.6.1, 6.5.3, 6.4.1,
  6.3.3, and 6.2.4 (and therefore Express 4.17.3, which has "deps:
  qs@6.9.7" in its release description, is not vulnerable).
