"The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is prior to 14.21.1, 16.18.1, 18.12.1, 19.0.1. It is, therefore,
affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Nov 3 2022 Security Releases advisory.

  - A buffer overrun can be triggered in X.509 certificate verification, specifically in name constraint
    checking. Note that this occurs after certificate chain signature verification and requires either a CA to
    have signed the malicious certificate or for the application to continue certificate verification despite
    failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer. An attacker can craft a malicious email address to
    overflow four attacker-controlled bytes on the stack. This buffer overflow could result in a crash
    (causing a denial of service) or potentially remote code execution. Impacts: (CVE-2022-3602)

  - A buffer overrun can be triggered in X.509 certificate verification, specifically in name constraint
    checking. Note that this occurs after certificate chain signature verification and requires either a CA to
    have signed a malicious certificate or for an application to continue certificate verification despite
    failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer. An attacker can craft a malicious email address in a
    certificate to overflow an arbitrary number of bytes containing the . character (decimal 46) on the stack.
    This buffer overflow could result in a crash (causing a denial of service). In a TLS client, this can be
    triggered by connecting to a malicious server. In a TLS server, this can be triggered if the server
    requests client authentication and a malicious client connects. OpenSSL versions 3.0.0 to 3.0.6 are
    vulnerable to this issue. Impacts: (CVE-2022-3786)

  - The Node.js rebinding protector for --inspect still allows invalid IP address, specifically, the octal
    format. An example of an octal IP address is 1.09.0.0, the 09 octet is invalid because 9 is not a number
    in the base 8 number system. Browsers such as Firefox (tested on latest version m105) will still attempt
    to resolve this 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 Thank you to
    @haxatron1 for reporting this vulnerability. Impacts: (CVE-2022-43548)

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