Description

undici's cache interceptor does not handle the Set-Cookie response header anywhere in its cache path, so it neither refuses to store nor strips that header. In shared cache mode, which is the default, an otherwise cacheable response that carries a Set-Cookie header, for example one marked with a public and max-age directive, is stored and then re-served to a later caller that matches the same cache key. As a result one caller's cookie is disclosed to a different caller, and an untrusted server can inject cookies into cached responses served to all subsequent callers. This violates the requirement that a shared cache must not store cookies. This affects undici versions from 7.0.0 up to 7.29.1 and from 8.0.0 up to 8.10.2. Users should upgrade to undici 7.29.1 or 8.10.2.

Executive Summary

The vulnerability in undici's cache interceptor allows Set-Cookie headers to be stored and reused in shared cache mode. This means cookies intended for one user can be disclosed to another user accessing the same cached response, violating shared cache requirements.

Detection Guidance

Check if your system uses undici versions between 7.0.0-7.29.1 or 8.0.0-8.10.2. Run: npm list undici or node -e "console.log(require('undici/package.json').version)" to verify the installed version.

Impact Analysis

If you use an affected undici version, your session cookies could be exposed to unauthorized users. Attackers might also inject malicious cookies into cached responses, potentially hijacking sessions or enabling further exploits.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability likely violates GDPR's data protection principles by exposing user cookies to unauthorized parties. It may also conflict with HIPAA's access controls and integrity requirements for sensitive data handling.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade undici to version 7.29.1 or 8.10.2 or later. If using npm, run: npm update undici. If using yarn, run: yarn upgrade undici.
