DescriptionNVD

i18next-locize-backend is a simple i18next backend for locize.com which can be used in Node.js, in the browser and for Deno. Prior to version 9.0.2, i18next-locize-backend interpolates lng, ns, projectId, and version directly into the configured loadPath / privatePath / addPath / updatePath / getLanguagesPath URL templates with no path-component validation and no encoding. When an application exposes any of these values to user-controlled input (?lng= / ?ns= query parameters via i18next-browser-languagedetector, cookies, request headers, or a URL-derived projectId), a crafted value can change the structure of the outgoing request URL. Affected call sites in lib/index.js (pre-patch): the interpolate() helper is used at the five URL-build sites - _readAny/read (line 415 for private, 426 for public), getLanguages (lines 271 and 296), and writePage (lines 616 and 622) for the missing-key and update POST paths. The helper interpolate in lib/utils.js substitutes raw values with no encoding. This issue has been patched in version 9.0.2.

AnalysisAI

URL injection via unsanitized path parameters in i18next-locize-backend prior to 9.0.2 allows remote attackers to manipulate translation resource URLs by injecting path traversal sequences, query strings, or fragments through user-controlled lng, ns, projectId, or version parameters. When these values are exposed via query parameters, cookies, or request headers through i18next-browser-languagedetector, an attacker can redirect requests to unintended translation resources or trigger SSRF/arbitrary-file-read attacks against internal/file-scheme URLs. …
