CWE-ID:
CWE-350 - Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.
