CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32213

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.

3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU65278

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32214

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to llhttp parser in the http module does not strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.

Mitigation

Update the affected package nodejs to the latest version.

6) 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

Description

The 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.

Mitigation

Update the affected package nodejs to the latest version.
