Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2024-4067
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js micromatch module is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in micromatch.braces() in index.js. By sending a specially crafted payload, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to increase the consumption time until the application hangs or slows down.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290676 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-2024-27982
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by the use of content length obfuscation in the http server. By sending specially crafted HTTP request headers, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/286863 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2024-27983
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an assertion failure in node::http2::Http2Session::~Http2Session(). By sending a small amount of HTTP/2 frames packets with a few HTTP/2 frames inside, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the HTTP/2 server to crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/286865 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2024-27088
**DESCRIPTION:**medikoo es5-ext is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw. By providing specially crafted regex input, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 4.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/284319 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2024-29041
**DESCRIPTION:**Express.js Express could allow a remote attacker to conduct phishing attacks, caused by an open redirect vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted URL to redirect a victim to arbitrary Web sites.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/286404 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2024-21501
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js sanitize-html module could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error when used on the backend and with the style attribute allowed. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to enumerate files in the system and gather details about the file system structure and dependencies of the targeted server.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/284776 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2024-4068
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js braces module is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to limit the number of characters it can handle. leading to a memory exhaustion in lib/parse.js. By sending imbalanced braces as input, the parsing will enter a loop causing the JavaScript heap limit to be reached, and the program will crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/290675 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2024-28849
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js follow-redirects module could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the leakage of credentials when clearing authorization header during cross-domain redirect, but keeping the proxy-authentication header. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain credentials and other sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/285690 for the current score.
