NVD · unedited
An issue pertaining to CWE-843: Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type was discovered in transloadit uppy v0.25.6.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A type confusion vulnerability (CWE-843) exists in transloadit uppy v0.25.6 allowing access of a resource using an incompatible type. The critical severity (CVSS 9.8) suggests arbitrary code execution or severe data access is possible through improper type handling in the affected component.

MitigationUpgrade transloadit uppy to the latest version that addresses this type confusion vulnerability. If no patched version is available, consider isolating the uppy component or implementing input validation layers until a fix is released.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if transloadit uppy is installed
    Search for uppy in your project's dependencies: check package.json for 'uppy' or '@transloadit/uppy', or run 'npm list uppy' / 'yarn list uppy' in your project directory
    Affected if uppy is listed as a dependency in your project
  2. Determine the installed uppy version
    Run 'npm list uppy --depth=0' or check the version field in your package.json for the uppy entry
    Affected if The installed version is v0.25.6 or any version prior to it
  3. Confirm the exact version matches the affected release
    Compare your installed version number directly against v0.25.6. If your package-lock.json or yarn.lock shows a specific version, verify that version number
    Affected if The version is v0.25.6 or older (e.g., v0.25.5, v0.25.0, etc.)
  4. Check if uppy is actively loaded in your application runtime
    Review your application code for 'require("uppy")' or 'import * as Uppy' statements, and check if uppy is included in your JavaScript bundle
    Affected if uppy is imported and executed in your application code at runtime
  5. Verify the vulnerable component is accessible
    Since the flaw involves type handling in the uppy core, check if your application processes external uploads, file inputs, or data streams through uppy's core module
    Affected if Your application uses uppy to handle file uploads or data processing

You are affected if transloadit uppy v0.25.6 or any earlier version is installed and actively handling files or data in your environment.
