Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44531)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of URI Subject Alternative Names. Node.js accepts arbitrary Subject Alternative Name (SAN) types, unless a PKI is specifically defined to use a particular SAN type. A remote attacker can bypass name-constrained intermediates and perform spoofing attack.


2) Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44532)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of certificates, when converting SANs (Subject Alternative Names) to a string format. A remote attacker can inject special characters into the string and perform spoofing attack.


3) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44533)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of certificate subject and issuer fields. A remote attacker can create a certificate with specially crafted multi-value Relative Distinguished Names and perform spoofing attack.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44906)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trick the library into adding or modifying the properties of Object.prototype, using a constructor or __proto__ payload, resulting in prototype pollution and loss of confidentiality, availability, and integrity.


5) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21824)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the formatting logic of the console.table() function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and assign an empty string to numerical keys of the object prototype.



6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35256)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
