Short explanation

A ReDOS vulnerability exists in dd-trace, the Datadog APM client for Node.js, due to the default expression performing excessive backtracking on URL query strings. This allows crafted requests to consume excessive CPU and cause application unavailability.

Why does it matter?

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network without authentication, stalling request processing and rendering the instrumented application unavailable.

What should be done?

  • Follow the vendor advisory
  • Update affected versions
  • Apply relevant patches
Chain of evidence and sources2 verified claims

dd-trace-js sürümleri 2.0.0 ile 5.131.1 ve 6.0.0 ile 6.20.1 arasında ReDOS zafiyetinden etkilenmektedir.

Zaafiyet, varsayılan ifade aşırı geri izleme yapabildiği için HTTP URL meta verileri kaydedilirken ortaya çıkar.

Show the technical text from the sources

dd-trace is the Datadog APM client for Node.js. From 2.0.0 until 5.131.1 and 6.20.1, the default DD_TRACE_OBFUSCATION_QUERY_STRING_REGEXP can perform excessive backtracking on attacker-controlled URL query strings. The expression is applied synchronously while recording HTTP URL metadata, allowing a crafted request to consume excessive CPU, stall request processing, and make the instrumented application unavailable. This issue is fixed in versions 5.131.1 and 6.20.1.
