medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438818

Description

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

- ImpactWhen an application passes user-controlled input to the upgrade option of client.request(), an
attacker can inject CRLF sequences (\r\n) to: * Inject arbitrary HTTP headers * Terminate the HTTP request
prematurely and smuggle raw data to non-HTTP services (Redis, Memcached, Elasticsearch) The vulnerability
exists because undici writes the upgrade value directly to the socket without validating for invalid
header characters: // lib/dispatcher/client-h1.js:1121 if (upgrade) { header += `connection:
upgrade\r\nupgrade: ${upgrade}\r\n` } (CVE-2026-1527)
