high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414366

Description

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

- In Eclipse Theia versions 0.3.9 through 0.15.0, one of the default pre-packaged Theia extensions is "Mini-
Browser", published as "@theia/mini-browser" on npmjs.com. This extension, for its own needs, exposes a
HTTP endpoint that allows to read the content of files on the host's filesystem, given their path, without
restrictions on the requester's origin. This design is vulnerable to being exploited remotely through a
DNS rebinding attack or a drive-by download of a carefully crafted exploit. (CVE-2019-17636)
