The utilities function in all versions <= 0.5.0 of the deep-extend node module can be tricked into modifying the prototype of Object when the attacker can control part of the structure passed to this function. This can let an attacker add or modify existing properties that will exist on all objects.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - nodejs-deep-extend: Prototype pollution can allow attackers to modify object properties (CVE-2018-3750)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2021:0549 advisory.

  - The utilities function in all versions <= 0.5.0 of the deep-extend node module can be tricked into     modifying the prototype of Object when the attacker can control part of the structure passed to this     function. This can let an attacker add or modify existing properties that will exist on all objects.
    (CVE-2018-3750)

  - mixin-deep is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution in versions before 1.3.2 and version 2.0.0. The function     mixin-deep could be tricked into adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a constructor     payload. (CVE-2019-10746)

  - set-value is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution in versions lower than 3.0.1. The function mixin-deep could     be tricked into adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using any of the constructor, prototype     and _proto_ payloads. (CVE-2019-10747)

  - This affects the package npm-user-validate before 1.0.1. The regex that validates user emails took     exponentially longer to process long input strings beginning with @ characters. (CVE-2020-7754)

  - This affects the package ini before 1.3.6. If an attacker submits a malicious INI file to an application     that parses it with ini.parse, they will pollute the prototype on the application. This can be exploited     further depending on the context. (CVE-2020-7788)

  - Node.js versions before 10.23.1, 12.20.1, 14.15.4, 15.5.1 are vulnerable to a use-after-free bug in its     TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket, node::StreamBase::Write calls     node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method     does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as part of a StreamWriteResult     structure. This may be exploited to corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other     exploits. (CVE-2020-8265)

  - Node.js versions before 10.23.1, 12.20.1, 14.15.4, 15.5.1 allow two copies of a header field in an HTTP     request (for example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields). In this case, Node.js identifies the first     header field and ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling. (CVE-2020-8287)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
