axios is vulnerable to Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - axios is vulnerable to Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity (CVE-2021-3749)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - axios is vulnerable to Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity (CVE-2021-3749)

The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - The ejs (aka Embedded JavaScript templates) package 3.1.6 for Node.js allows server-side template     injection in settings[view options][outputFunctionName]. This is parsed as an internal option, and     overwrites the outputFunctionName option with an arbitrary OS command (which is executed upon template     compilation). (CVE-2022-29078)

  - The netmask package before 2.0.1 for Node.js mishandles certain unexpected characters in an IP address     string, such as an octal digit of 9. This (in some situations) allows attackers to bypass access control     that is based on IP addresses. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-28918.
    (CVE-2021-29418)

  - Improper input validation of octal strings in netmask npm package v1.0.6 and below allows unauthenticated     remote attackers to perform indeterminate SSRF, RFI, and LFI attacks on many of the dependent packages. A     remote unauthenticated attacker can bypass packages relying on netmask to filter IPs and reach critical     VPN or LAN hosts. (CVE-2021-28918)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:1276 advisory.

    Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh is Red Hat's distribution of the Istio service mesh project, tailored for     installation into an on-premise OpenShift Container Platform installation.

    This advisory covers the RPM packages for the release.

    * golang: net/http/httputil: panic due to racy read of persistConn after handler panic (CVE-2021-36221)

    * golang.org/x/crypto: empty plaintext packet causes panic (CVE-2021-43565)

    * envoy: Null pointer dereference when using JWT filter safe_regex match (CVE-2021-43824)

    * envoy: Use-after-free when response filters increase response data (CVE-2021-43825)

    * envoy: Use-after-free when tunneling TCP over HTTP (CVE-2021-43826)

    * envoy: Stack exhaustion when a cluster is deleted via Cluster Discovery Service (CVE-2022-23606)
