SCA: security update for yauzl (GHSA-gmq8-994r-jv83)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438822
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- yauzl (aka Yet Another Unzip Library) version 3.2.0 for Node.js contains an off-by-one error in the NTFS
extended timestamp extra field parser within the getLastModDate() function. The while loop condition
checks cursor < data.length + 4 instead of cursor + 4 <= data.length, allowing readUInt16LE() to read past
the buffer boundary. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (process crash via ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE
exception) by sending a crafted zip file with a malformed NTFS extra field. This affects any Node.js
application that processes zip file uploads and calls entry.getLastModDate() on parsed entries. Fixed in
version 3.2.1. (CVE-2026-31988)
Solution
Update the yauzl library and its related packages to version 3.2.1 or later.See Also
