Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in @discordjs/opus

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 18, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Sep 7, 2023

Package

npm @discordjs/opus (npm)

Affected versions

< 0.8.0

Patched versions

0.8.0

Description

Improperly handled errors in @discordjs/opus cause hard crashes instead of returning the error to user land. All versions of package @discordjs/opus (<= 0.7.0) are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) when trying to encode using an encoder with zero channels, or a non-initialized buffer. This leads to a hard crash due to improperly returning the errors from the invalid inputs.

As of version 0.8.0, the errors are correctly returned to the user and are no longer throwing hard crashes that cannot be recovered.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
