Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-295. fs2 is a compositional, streaming I/O library for Scala. When establishing a server-mode TLSSocket using fs2-io on Node.js, the parameter requestCert = true is ignored, peer certificate verification is skipped, and the connection proceeds. The vulnerability is limited to: 1. fs2-io running on Node.js. The JVM TLS implementation is completely independent. 2. TLSSockets in server-mode. Client-mode TLSSockets are implemented via a different API. 3. mTLS as enabled via requestCert = true in TLSParameters. The default setting is false for server-mode TLSSockets. It was introduced with the initial Node.js implementation of fs2-io in 3.1.0. A patch is released in v3.2.11. The requestCert = true parameter is respected and the peer certificate is verified. If verification fails, a SSLException is raised. If using an unpatched version on Node.js, do not use a server-mode TLSSocket with requestCert = true to establish a mTLS connection. Affected products include: Typelevel Fs2.

What every action level means

Emergency Immediate action required. Criteria: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited) without patch, OR CRITICAL + EPSS > 30% without patch, OR CRITICAL + active threat signals without patch.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Criteria: in KEV with patch available, OR CRITICAL + public POC, OR HIGH + EPSS > 10%, OR CRITICAL + active threat, OR any CRITICAL severity.

This Week Schedule remediation this week. Criteria: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9). Patch within normal change window.

This Month Plan within 30 days. Criteria: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9), lower exploitation probability. Include in regular patch cycle.

Monitor Track and reassess. Criteria: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9), minimal exploitation risk. No immediate action needed.
