Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact moment before 2.31.0 is vulnerable to path traversal in `moment.locale()`. When an application passes a non-string, attacker-influenced value to `moment.locale()`, a specially crafted object can bypass the locale name validation and cause moment to load a file from an attacker-controlled path. This is a further bypass of the validation added in 2.29.2 for [CVE-2022-24785](https://github.com/moment/moment/security/advisories/GHSA-8hfj-j24r-96c4). This affects server-side (npm) users only. Plain string input is not affected: the existing validation correctly rejects strings that contain path separators. ### Patches This issue is patched in moment 2.31.0. ### Workarounds Validate that any user-supplied input is a string before passing it to `moment.locale()`.
