SCA: security update for urijs (GHSA-3329-pjwv-fjpg)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409228
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- URI.js is a javascript URL mutation library (npm package urijs). In URI.js before version 1.19.4, the
hostname can be spoofed by using a backslash (`\`) character followed by an at (`@`) character. If the
hostname is used in security decisions, the decision may be incorrect. Depending on library usage and
attacker intent, impacts may include allow/block list bypasses, SSRF attacks, open redirects, or other
undesired behavior. For example the URL `https://expected-example.com\@observed-example.com` will
incorrectly return `observed-example.com` if using an affected version. Patched versions correctly return
`expected-example.com`. Patched versions match the behavior of other parsers which implement the WHATWG
URL specification, including web browsers and Node's built-in URL class. Version 1.19.4 is patched against
all known payload variants. Version 1.19.3 has a partial patch but is still vulnerable to a payload
variant.] (CVE-2020-26291)
