Advisories for Npm/Generator-Jhipster package

Every reactive (Spring WebFlux + Spring Data R2DBC + SQL) application generated by generator-jhipster contains an SQL injection in the paginated entity list endpoints (GET /api/<entity>?sort=…). The sort request parameter is taken verbatim from the user and concatenated into the SQL ORDER BY clause without quoting or validation. Because the generated query has no bound parameters, the R2DBC drivers execute it via the simple query protocol, so ;-separated extra statements …

Applications generated by generator-jhipster v9.2.0 can persist user-controlled Blob ContentType values and later use those values as the MIME type for client-side Blob objects. The shared generated openFile helper creates an object URL from the Blob and opens it in a new window. For Blob-bearing entities writable by normal authenticated users, this creates a stored XSS chain: attacker-controlled Blob content and MIME type are stored through the generated REST API, …

Withdrawn Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because the original report was found to be invalid. This link is maintained to preserve external references. For more information, see https://groups.google.com/g/jhipster-dev/c/ATSlWkEjw2w. Original Description JHipster before v.8.9.0 allows privilege escalation via a modified authorities parameter. Upon registering in the JHipster portal and logging in as a standard user, the authorities parameter in the response from the api/account endpoint contains the value ROLE_USER. By …

JHipster generator-jhipster before 2.23.0 allows a timing attack against validateToken due to a string comparison that stops at the first character that is different. Attackers can guess tokens by brute forcing one character at a time and observing the timing. This of course drastically reduces the search space to a linear amount of guesses based on the token length times the possible characters.

Impact For applications using JWT or session-based authentication (not OIDC), users can input a login string which can cause a denial of service, as parsing it will be too complex.

JHipster is a development platform to quickly generate, develop, & deploy modern web applications & microservice architectures. SQL Injection vulnerability in entities for applications generated with the option "reactive with Spring WebFlux" enabled and an SQL database using r2dbc. Applications created without "reactive with Spring WebFlux" and applications with NoSQL databases are not affected. Users who have generated a microservice Gateway using the affected version may be impacted as Gateways …

Generated code uses repository configuration that downloads over HTTP instead of HTTPS Impact Gradle users were using the http://repo.spring.io/plugins-release repositories in plain HTTP, and not HTTPS, so a man-in-the-middle attack was possible at build time. Patches Maven users should at least upgrade to 6.3.0 while Gradle users should update to 6.3.1. If you are not able to upgrade make sure not to use a Maven repository via http in your …

A class generated by the Generator in JHipster produces code that uses an insecure source of randomness (apache.commons.lang3 RandomStringUtils). This allows an attacker (if able to obtain their own password reset URL) to compute the value for all other password resets for other accounts, thus allowing privilege escalation or account takeover.
