The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2021:3074 advisory.

  - The package hosted-git-info before 3.0.8 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)     via regular expression shortcutMatch in the fromUrl function in index.js. The affected regular expression     exhibits polynomial worst-case time complexity. (CVE-2021-23362)

  - ssri 5.2.2-8.0.0, fixed in 8.0.1, processes SRIs using a regular expression which is vulnerable to a     denial of service. Malicious SRIs could take an extremely long time to process, leading to denial of     service. This issue only affects consumers using the strict option. (CVE-2021-27290)

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-017558 advisory.

    Node.js before 16.4.1, 14.17.2, 12.22.2 is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read when uv__idna_toascii() is     used to convert strings to ASCII. The pointer p is read and increased without checking whether it is     beyond pe, with the latter holding a pointer to the end of the buffer. This can lead to information     disclosures or crashes. This function can be triggered via uv_getaddrinfo().

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has nodejs packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The use of `Module._load()` can bypass the policy mechanism and require modules outside of the policy.json     definition for a given module. This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy     mechanism in all active release lines: 16.x, 18.x and, 20.x. Please note that at the time this CVE was     issued, the policy is an experimental feature of Node.js. (CVE-2023-32002)

  - Minimist <=1.2.5 is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via file index.js, function setKey() (lines 69-95).
    (CVE-2021-44906)

  - Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization     manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker requests a large amount of data     from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to force     the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can     consume excess CPU, memory, or both. (CVE-2019-9511)

  - Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service. The     attacker sends continual pings to an HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of     responses. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both.
    (CVE-2019-9512)

  - Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to resource loops, potentially leading to a denial of service.
    The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a     way that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume excess CPU. (CVE-2019-9513)
