Denial of Service in node-sass

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Sep 11, 2020 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 9, 2023

Package

npm node-sass (npm)

Affected versions

>= 3.3.0, < 4.13.1

Patched versions

4.13.1

Description

Affected versions of node-sass are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). Crafted objects passed to the renderSync function may trigger C++ assertions in CustomImporterBridge::get_importer_entry and CustomImporterBridge::post_process_return_value that crash the Node process. This may allow attackers to crash the system's running Node process and lead to Denial of Service.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 4.13.1 or later
