CVEID:CVE-2022-28948
**DESCRIPTION:**Go-Yaml is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the Unmarshal function. By sending a specially-crafted input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the program to crash.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/226978 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2020-7774
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js y18n module could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a prototype pollution flaw. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/191999 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2022-0536
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js follow-redirects module could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a leakage of the Authorization header from the same hostname during HTTPS to HTTP redirection. By utilize man-in-the-middle attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain Authorization header information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 2.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/219551 for the current score.
