high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 405839

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - Node.js < 12.18.4 and < 14.11 can be exploited to perform HTTP desync attacks and deliver malicious
 payloads to unsuspecting users. The payloads can be crafted by an attacker to hijack user sessions, poison
 cookies, perform clickjacking, and a multitude of other attacks depending on the architecture of the
 underlying system. The attack was possible due to a bug in processing of carrier-return symbols in the
 HTTP header names. (CVE-2020-8201)

 - Node.js < 14.11.0 is vulnerable to HTTP denial of service (DoS) attacks based on delayed requests
 submission which can make the server unable to accept new connections. (CVE-2020-8251)
