1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23918)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions within the process.mainModule.require() method. A remote user can access non authorized modules.
2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34453)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in shuffle. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.

6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32731)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing HTTP2 requests. When gRPC HTTP2 stack raised a header size exceeded error, it skipped parsing the rest of the HPACK frame. This caused any HPACK table mutations to also be skipped, resulting in a desynchronization of HPACK tables between sender and receiver. This could lead to requests from the proxy being interpreted as containing headers from different proxy clients, leading to an information leak that can be used for privilege escalation or data exfiltration.
