GHSA-f7vx-j8mp-3h2x

Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity in Eclipse Theia

Quick fix

GHSA-f7vx-j8mp-3h2x — @theia/mini-browser: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install @theia/mini-browser@0.16.0

Details

In Eclipse Theia versions 0.3.9 through 0.15.0, one of the default pre-packaged Theia extensions is "Mini-Browser", published as "@theia/mini-browser" on npmjs.com. This extension, for its own needs, exposes a HTTP endpoint that allows to read the content of files on the hosts filesystem, given their path, without restrictions on the requesters origin. This design is vulnerable to being exploited remotely through a DNS rebinding attack or a drive-by download of a carefully crafted exploit.
