SB2022091217 - SUSE update for nodejs16

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29244)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

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

The vulnerability exists due to npm pack ignores root-level .gitignore and .npmignore file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (ie. `--workspaces`, `--workspace=`). Anyone who has run `npm pack` or `npm publish` inside a workspace, may be affected and have published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include.

2) CRLF injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31150)

CWE-ID: CWE-93 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary data in server response.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of attacker-supplied data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application containing CR-LF characters and modify application behavior.

3) CRLF injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35948)

CWE-ID: CWE-93 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary data in server response.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of unsanitized input passed as request headers. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application containing CR-LF characters and modify application behavior.

4) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35949)

CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
