Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
kurwov is a fast, dependency-free library for creating Markov Chains. An unsafe sanitization of dataset contents on the MarkovData#getNext method used in Markov#generate and Markov#choose allows a maliciously crafted string on the dataset to throw and stop the function from running properly. If a string contains a forbidden substring (i.e. __proto__) followed by a space character, the code will access a special property in MarkovData#finalData by removing the last character of the string, bypassing the dataset sanitization (as it is supposed to be already sanitized before this function is called). Any dataset can be contaminated with the substring making it unable to properly generate anything in some cases. This issue has been addressed in version 3.2.5 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
AnalysisAI
kurwov is a fast, dependency-free library for creating Markov Chains. Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.2), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502), which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code through malicious serialized objects. kurwov is a fast, dependency-free library for creating Markov Chains.
