Overview
JointJS is a JavaScript diagramming library that is used for creating interactive diagrams and visualizations. The vulnerability exists in the unsetByPath function which can be exploited to cause a denial of service condition. When processing certain inputs, the function may enter an infinite loop or consume excessive resources, leading to application unresponsiveness or crashes. This affects all versions of JointJS prior to 3.3.0, including packages distributed through npm and bower repositories.
Remediation
Users should upgrade to JointJS version 3.3.0 or later which contains a fix for this vulnerability. If upgrading is not immediately possible, consider implementing input validation before passing data to the unsetByPath function to ensure that only expected and safe inputs are processed. Additionally, implementing resource usage monitoring and limits can help mitigate the impact of attempted exploits.
For Java projects using the affected package through WebJars:
- Update org.webjars.bower:jointjs to version 3.3.0 or later
- Update org.webjars.npm:jointjs to version 3.3.0 or later
For JavaScript projects:
- Update jointjs to version 3.3.0 or later using npm or yarn
