Unsafe fall-through in getWhereConditions

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Feb 21, 2023 in sequelize/sequelize • Updated Feb 23, 2023

Package

npm @sequelize/core (npm)

Affected versions

< 7.0.0-alpha.20

Patched versions

7.0.0-alpha.20
npm sequelize (npm)
< 6.28.1
6.28.1

Description

Impact

Providing an invalid value to the where option of a query caused Sequelize to ignore that option instead of throwing an error.

A finder call like the following did not throw an error:

User.findAll({
  where: new Date(),
});

As this option is typically used with plain javascript objects, be aware that this only happens at the top level of this option.

Patches

This issue has been patched in sequelize@6.28.1 & @sequelize/core@7.0.0.alpha-20

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.
