high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 400338

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)

submission which can make the server unable to accept new connections. (CVE-2020-8251)
