Security Bulletin: Moment.js issue of validating, manipulating, and formatting dates

Summary

Moment.js is a JavaScript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. A path traversal vulnerability impacts npm (server) users of Moment.js between versions 1.0.1 and 2.29.1, especially if a user-provided locale string is directly used to switch moment locale. This problem is patched in 2.29.2, and the patch can be applied to all affected versions. As a workaround, sanitize the user-provided locale name before passing it to Moment.js.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-31129
**DESCRIPTION:**Moment is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by inefficient regular expression complexity. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230690 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-24785
**DESCRIPTION:**Moment.js could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper validation of user supplied input. An attacker could send a specially-crafted locale string containing “dot dot” sequences (/…/) to switch arbitrary moment locale.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/223451 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2023-22467
**DESCRIPTION:**Moment.js Luxon is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw due to the use of quadratic (N^2) complexity in the DateTime.fromRFC2822() function. By sending a specially-crafted input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a slowdown in data process, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
