The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is prior to 12.22.7, 14.18.1 or 16.11.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple HTTP smuggling vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated, remote attack could exploit these to bypass security controls, gain unauthorized access to sensitive data and directly compromise other application users.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
