The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2023:0026 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2021-44906:
    Minimist <=1.2.5 is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via file index.js, function setKey() (lines 69-95).

    CVE-2022-0235:
    node-fetch is vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

    CVE-2022-24999:
    qs before 6.10.3, as used in Express before 4.17.3 and other products, allows attackers to cause a Node     process hang for an Express application because an __ proto__ key can be used. In many typical Express use     cases, an unauthenticated remote attacker can place the attack payload in the query string of the URL that     is used to visit the application, such as a[__proto__]=b&a[__proto__]&a[length]=100000000. The fix was     backported to qs 6.9.7, 6.8.3, 6.7.3, 6.6.1, 6.5.3, 6.4.1, 6.3.3, and 6.2.4 (and therefore Express 4.17.3,     which has deps: qs@6.9.7 in its release description, is not vulnerable).

    CVE-2022-3517:
    A vulnerability was found in the minimatch package. This flaw allows a Regular Expression Denial of     Service (ReDoS) when calling the braceExpand function with specific arguments, resulting in a Denial of     Service.

    CVE-2022-43548:
    A OS Command Injection vulnerability exists in Node.js versions <14.21.1, <16.18.1, <18.12.1, <19.0.1 due     to an insufficient IsAllowedHost check that can easily be bypassed because IsIPAddress does not properly     check if an IP address is invalid before making DBS requests allowing rebinding attacks.The fix for this     issue in https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-32212 was incomplete and this new CVE is     to complete the fix.

    ranjit-git discovered an information leak vulnerability in node-fetch, a     Node.js module exposing a window.fetch compatible API on Node.js     runtime: the module was not honoring the same-origin-policy and upon     following a redirect would leak cookies to the the target URL.

    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version     1.7.3-1+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your node-fetch packages.
