Old database of Elixir security advisories before the GitHub Security Advisory DB supported Hex / Elixir.
Deprecation Notice
This repo was created before the GitHub Security Advisory DB supported Hex / Elixir. Now that support has been added, we've deprecated / archived this repo. The Security Advisory DB is a much more flexible solution that includes an actual API, GraphQL support, auto-ingesting from various data sources, professional curation, etc.
Elixir Advisory Database
The Elixir Advisory Database is a repository of security advisories filed against published Elixir packages.
Advisory metadata is stored in YAML format for Sobelow, Dependabot, MixAudit and other automated tools to consume.
This is also an experimental web API for the database.
Directory Structure
The database is a list of directories that match the names of Elixir libraries on [hex.pm]. Within each directory are one or more advisory files for the Elixir library.
packages/:
plug/:
2017-02-28.yml
2017-02-28_2.yml
Format
Each advisory file contains the advisory information in YAML format:
---
id: 8268e120-60b4-4efb-b9ca-4e3faca0cca6
package: plug
disclosure_date: 2017-02-28
cve: 2017-1000052

Null Byte Injection in Plug.Static
description: |
Plug.Static is used for serving static assets, and is vulnerable to null
byte injection. If file upload functionality is provided, this can allow
users to bypass filetype restrictions.
We recommend all applications that provide file upload functionality and
serve those uploaded files locally with Plug.Static to upgrade immediately
or include the fix below. If uploaded files are rather stored and served
from S3 or any other cloud storage, you are not affected.
patched_versions:
- ~> 1.3.2
- ~> 1.2.3
- ~> 1.1.7
- ~> 1.0.4
unaffected_versions:
- "< 1.0.0"
