Open vulnerabilities for express-fileupload

[jhtann]

Currently, at the latest master e107592, I've observed that express-fileupload using version 1.4.0, which exposes vulnerabilities CVE-2022-27140 (critical) and CVE-2022-27261 (high).

Despite upgrading to version 1.5.0, both vulnerabilities persist in the Express-fileupload library.

Details:

CVE-2022-27140 (CRITICAL): being disputed in the NIST database CVE-2022-27261 (HIGH): still open, might pose a risk for file overwrite

Do we assess the risks associated with these vulnerabilities, given that we are using express-fileupload: 1.4.0?

Hi,

Based on the CVE links you provided v1.4.0 version of express-fileupload is not vulnerable. Based on the Issue links you provided it is also indicated that the vulnerability is "questionable":

CVE-2022-27140 is marked as "disputed".

yea, is there any plan to upgrade the version express-fileupload to 1.5.0, even the "disputed" cve existed in latest version 🤔

Will take a look at that after my vacations.

Looks like v1.5.0 brings some "unexpected" breaking changes. For now I've upgraded express-fileupload package to v1.4.3 and push new docker image to repository. When I have more time, I will try to investigate why clamav-rest-api is not working as expected with version v1.5.0.

I have updated express-fileupload to v1.5.0 and pushed new docker image version.
