Moment.js is a JavaScript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. A couple of vulnerabilities were reported as follows:
- CVE-2022-24785
A path traversal vulnerability impacts npm (server) users of Moment.js, especially if a user-provided locale string is directly used to switch moment locale.
- CVE-2022-31129
Affected versions of moment were found to use an inefficient parsing algorithm. Specifically using string-to-date parsing in moment (more specifically rfc2822 parsing, which is tried by default) has quadratic (N^2) complexity on specific inputs. Users may notice a noticeable slowdown is observed with inputs above 10k characters. Users who pass user-provided strings without sanity length checks to moment constructor are vulnerable to (Re)DoS attacks.
For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 2.24.0+ds-1+deb10u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your node-moment packages.
