Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44906)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trick the library into adding or modifying the properties of Object.prototype, using a constructor or __proto__ payload, resulting in prototype pollution and loss of confidentiality, availability, and integrity.


2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0235)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the application follows the "Location" HTTP header redirect and passes authorization cookie to a third-party resource. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.


3) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3517)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


4) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24999)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.



5) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43548)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DNS rebinding attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of octal IP address within the Node.js rebinding protector for --inspec. A remote attacker can resolve the invalid octal address via DNS. When combined with an active --inspect session, such as when using VSCode, an attacker can perform DNS rebinding and execute arbitrary code in client's browser.
