Moment.js 2.29.2 < 2.31.0 Path Traversal

medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 115563

Synopsis

Moment.js 2.29.2 < 2.31.0 Path Traversal

Description

According to its self-reported version number, Moment.js is 2.29.2 or later but prior to 2.31.0. Therefore, it may be affected by a path traversal vulnerability in the moment.locale() function. When an application passes an attacker-influenced non-string value as locale name, a crafted object can bypass the locale name validation introduced to fix CVE-2022-24785, causing Moment.js to load a file from an attacker-chosen path. Only server-side (npm) usage is affected. (CVE-2026-17495)

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Moment.js version 2.31.0 or later.
