CVE-2024-29041

Summary

CVE-2024-29041 is a vulnerability affecting Express.js, a popular web framework for node, prior to version 4.19.0 and all alpha and beta versions of 5.0. The issue involves an open redirect vulnerability, where malformed URLs can bypass properly implemented allow lists in Express applications. This occurs due to the `encodeurl` function's handling of user-provided URLs, which can lead to unexpected evaluations and open redirects. The main functions impacted are `res.location()` and `res.redirect()`. Versions 4.19.2 and 5.0.0-beta.3 have since been released to address this vulnerability.
