Vulnerability in music-metadata (CVE-2026-107392)
Summary
Vulnerability in music-metadata (CVE-2026-107392). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via DsfParser.parseChunks. Mitigation: upgrade to 11.12.3 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
DsfParser.parseChunks skips an unrecognised chunk's payload with an un-awaited call:
this.tokenizer.ignore(Number(chunkHeader.size) - ChunkHeader.len); // lib/dsf/DsfParser.js:51 — no await
ChunkHeader.len is 12. A crafted .dsf chunk with id != 'fmt ' and size in 0..11 makes the
argument negative; strtok3 (≥ 10.3.5) throws RangeError on a negative ignore. Because the call
is fire-and-forget, the rejection is detached from the parseBuffer() promise chain → unhandled
rejection → Node's default (≥ 15) crashes the process — after parseBuffer() already
resolved, so a caller's try/catch catches nothing and is still taken down.
Residual of GHSA-v6c2-xwv6-8xf7: the ASF site was fixed in 11.12.3 (size validation) and strtok3
now throws on negative ignore; the DSF site was never validated, and its missing await
escalates that throw into an uncatchable crash.
Root cause (lib/dsf/DsfParser.js:34-56)
while (bytesRemaining >= ChunkHeader.len) { // ChunkHeader.len = 12
const chunkHeader = await this.tokenizer.readToken(ChunkHeader); // { id, size }
switch (chunkHeader.id) {
case 'fmt ': { ...; return; }
default: this.tokenizer.ignore(Number(chunkHeader.size) - ChunkHeader.len); break; // size<12 -> negative, no await
}
bytesRemaining -= chunkHeader.size;
}
