Hi, The following vulnerability was published for node-express. CVE-2024-29041[0]: | Express.js minimalist web framework for node. Versions of Express.js | prior to 4.19.0 and all pre-release alpha and beta versions of 5.0 | are affected by an open redirect vulnerability using malformed URLs. | When a user of Express performs a redirect using a user-provided URL | Express performs an encode [using | `encodeurl`](https://github.com/pillarjs/encodeurl) on the contents | before passing it to the `location` header. This can cause malformed | URLs to be evaluated in unexpected ways by common redirect allow | list implementations in Express applications, leading to an Open | Redirect via bypass of a properly implemented allow list. The main | method impacted is `res.location()` but this is also called from | within `res.redirect()`. The vulnerability is fixed in 4.19.2 and | 5.0.0-beta.3. https://github.com/expressjs/express/security/advisories/GHSA-rv95-896h-c2vc https://github.com/koajs/koa/issues/1800 https://github.com/expressjs/express/pull/5539 https://github.com/expressjs/express/commit/0867302ddbde0e9463d0564fea5861feb708c2dd (4.19.0) https://github.com/expressjs/express/commit/0b746953c4bd8e377123527db11f9cd866e39f94 If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
