SCA: security update for node-fetch (GHSA-w7rc-rwvf-8q5r)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419794
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- node-fetch before versions 2.6.1 and 3.0.0-beta.9 did not honor the size option after following a
redirect, which means that when a content size was over the limit, a FetchError would never get thrown and
the process would end without failure. For most people, this fix will have a little or no impact. However,
if you are relying on node-fetch to gate files above a size, the impact could be significant, for example:
If you don't double-check the size of the data after fetch() has completed, your JS thread could get tied
up doing work on a large file (DoS) and/or cost you money in computing. (CVE-2020-15168)
