Vulnerabilities in NodeJS C/C++ add-on extensions

One of the main goals of this research was to explore C/C++ vulnerabilities in the context of NodeJS npm packages. The focus will be on exploring and identifying classic vulnerabilities like Buffer Overflow, Denial of Service (process crash, unchecked types), and Memory Leakages in the context of NodeJS C/C++ addons and modeling relevant sources, sinks, and sanitizers using Snyk Code (see Snyk brings developer-first AppSec approach to C/C++).

Detecting Out-of-Bounds Memory Access, Which Caused The Crowdstike's Incident

The Crowdstrike incident is a recent example of out-of-bounds memory access in C/C++ causing a crash. CrowdStrike reported that problematic content in Channel File 291 triggered an out-of-bounds memory read, leading to a Windows operating system crash (BSOD). Another critical example with the exact root cause is the Heartbleed vulnerability, which affected the OpenSSL library. Remarkably, fuzz testing could identify this issue in less than 10 seconds. Watch the video to see fuzz testing in action.
