Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper Certificate Validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU59548
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44531
CWE-ID:
CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The
vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of URI Subject
Alternative Names. Node.js accepts arbitrary Subject Alternative Name
(SAN) types, unless a PKI
is specifically defined to use a particular SAN type. A remote attacker
can bypass name-constrained intermediates and perform spoofing attack.

4) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU64030
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44906
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.

7) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action
EUVDB-ID: #VU69354
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43548
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.
