- • A critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-7783, in the widely-used form-data JavaScript library exposes thousands of applications to remote code execution attacks.
- • The flaw arises from the library's reliance on the predictable Math.random() function for generating boundary values, allowing attackers to manipulate HTTP requests.
- • Potentially millions of applications across various sectors are affected, increasing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access.
- • Immediate action is required: developers should review their use of the form-data library and implement patches or mitigations as they become available.
- • No specific patches have been released yet; organizations should monitor for updates and consider alternative libraries or implement additional input validation.
A critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-7783) in the form-data JavaScript library has been identified, exposing potentially millions of applications to remote code execution attacks due to its use of the predictable Math.random() function for boundary value generation. This flaw allows attackers to manipulate HTTP requests, posing significant risks to data integrity and application security. Organizations must urgently assess their use of the form-data library, implement input validation, and prepare to apply patches as they are released. In the interim, developers should consider alternative libraries to mitigate risks associated with this vulnerability.
