Vulnerability in @sync-in/server (CVE-2026-58270)
Summary
Vulnerability in @sync-in/server (CVE-2026-58270). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via POST /api/app/sync/operation/diff/. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.4.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Affected component: Sync-in Server v2.3.0, POST /api/app/sync/operation/diff/:id, vulnerable implementation of pathFilters in backend/src/applications/sync/dtos/sync-operations.dto.ts.
Summary
In the vulnerable version, the sync diff endpoint accepted a user-controlled regex pattern through pathFilters and compiled it into a RegExp without complexity validation. The resulting regex was then executed synchronously against relative file paths during diff generation.
A catastrophic-backtracking pattern, such as ^(a+)+b, can block the affected Node.js event loop when evaluated against a worst-case path shape. In a single-process deployment, this can make the server unavailable to other users while the regex evaluation is running. Repeated malicious requests can sustain the denial of service.
Details
SyncDiffDto transformed user input directly into a RegExp without validating regex complexity:
// backend/src/applications/sync/dtos/sync-operations.dto.ts
@IsOptional()
@Transform(({ value }) => (typeof value === 'string' && value.length > 0 ? new RegExp(value, 'i') : null))
pathFilters?: RegExp = null
The compiled regex was then executed synchronously during sync diff traversal:
// backend/src/applications/sync/services/sync-manager.service.ts
if (ctx.syncDiff.pathFilters && ctx.syncDiff.pathFilters.test(filePath)) {
Because .test() is synchronous, a catastrophic-backtracking pattern can block the Node.js event loo…

A vulnerability (CWE-1333) exists in @sync-in/server. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via POST /api/app/sync/operation/diff/.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of @sync-in/server. Attack surface: POST /api/app/sync/operation/diff/ / POST /api/app/sync/register / POST /api/app/sync/auth/cookie / POST /api/app/sync/operation/diff/1.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.5/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to 2.4.0.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual POST /api/app/sync/operation/diff/ requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run grep -r '@sync-in/server' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

1Identify exposure identify
grep -r '@sync-in/server' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
@sync-in/serverを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'POST /api/app/sync/operation/diff/' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
POST /api/app/sync/operation/diff/への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade @sync-in/server to 2.4.0ステージング環境で 2.4.0 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。

4Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against POST /api/app/sync/operation/diff/ on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
