3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11080)
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 when processing HTTP/2 SETTINGS frames. A remote attacker can trigger high CPU load by sending large HTTP/2 SETTINGS frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8174)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within napi_get_value_string_latin1(), napi_get_value_string_utf8(), or napi_get_value_string_utf16() functions.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Improper Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8172)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization process.
The
vulnerability exists due to TLS session reuse and host certificate
verification bypass, as the 'session' event can be emitted before the
'secureConnect' event in Node.js. The application agent performs https
session caching and an unauthorized connection can be established via
the cached session ticket and treated as authorized connection.
6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4698)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote user to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. The vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
7) Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1960)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A local user with local access to the machine and JMX port can execute a man-in-the-middle attack using a specially crafted request to rebind the JMXRMI registry to one under the attacker's control when running a process with an enabled JMXReporter, with a port configured via metrics.reporter.reporter_name>.port.
8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4516)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote user to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. The vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.
