The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the write_private_key_file() function between creation and chmod operations. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
4) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20270)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
CVSSv4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

5) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43616)
CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient verification of data authenticity in the npm ci command. A remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability to install malware that was supposed to have been blocked by an exact version match requirement in package-lock.json.
6) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3918)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data during the validation of a JSON object. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted JSON file for validation and execute arbitrary code.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-29923)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR, as the Go interpreter does not properly consider extraneous zero characters at the beginning
of an IP address octet. A remote attacker can
bypass access control that is based on IP addresses, because of
unexpected octal interpretation.
8) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26612)
CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features
CVSSv4: 7.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to missing symbolic links checks when extracting files from TAR archives on Windows. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted archive and overwrite files on the system.
9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2596)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23358)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11612)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within ZlibDecoders in Netty while decoding a ZlibEncoded byte stream. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by passing an overly large ZlibEncoded byte stream to the Netty server, forcing the server to allocate all of its free memory to a single decoder.
12) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20445)
CWE-ID: CWE-113 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')
CVSSv4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to software does not corrector process CRLF character sequences within the HttpObjectDecoder.java in Netty, which allows a Content-Length header to be accompanied by a second Content-Length header, or by a Transfer-Encoding header. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request containing CRLF sequence and make the application to send a split HTTP response.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.
13) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20444)
CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')
CVSSv4: 6.9 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of HTTP headers without the colon within the HttpObjectDecoder.java file in Netty. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the application and perform HTTP request smuggling attack.
