Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client for Node.js. Starting with version 2.0.0 and prior to version 5.19.1, the undici library does not protect `host` HTTP header from CRLF injection vulnerabilities. This issue is patched in Undici v5.19.1. As a workaround, sanitize the `headers.host` string before passing to undici.

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the nodejs-16.19.1-1.el9 build changelog.

  - This affects versions of the package http-cache-semantics before 4.1.1. The issue can be exploited via     malicious request header values sent to a server, when that server reads the cache policy from the request     using this library. (CVE-2022-25881)

  - A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The ares_set_sortlist is missing checks about the validity of the     input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow. This issue may cause a denial of     service or a limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2022-4904)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Node.js <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1 and <14.21.3 that made     it possible to bypass the experimental Permissions (https://nodejs.org/api/permissions.html) feature in     Node.js and access non authorized modules by using process.mainModule.require(). This only affects users     who had enabled the experimental permissions option with --experimental-policy. (CVE-2023-23918)

  - A cryptographic vulnerability exists in Node.js <19.2.0, <18.14.1, <16.19.1, <14.21.3 that in some cases     did does not clear the OpenSSL error stack after operations that may set it. This may lead to false     positive errors during subsequent cryptographic operations that happen to be on the same thread. This in     turn could be used to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-23919)

  - An untrusted search path vulnerability exists in Node.js. <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1, and <14.21.3 that     could allow an attacker to search and potentially load ICU data when running with elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2023-23920)

  - Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client for Node.js. Starting with version 2.0.0 and prior to version 5.19.1, the     undici library does not protect `host` HTTP header from CRLF injection vulnerabilities. This issue is     patched in Undici v5.19.1. As a workaround, sanitize the `headers.host` string before passing to undici.
    (CVE-2023-23936)

  - Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client for Node.js. Prior to version 5.19.1, the `Headers.set()` and     `Headers.append()` methods are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks when     untrusted values are passed into the functions. This is due to the inefficient regular expression used to     normalize the values in the `headerValueNormalize()` utility function. This vulnerability was patched in     v5.19.1. No known workarounds are available. (CVE-2023-24807)

According to its self-reported version, the Tenable Identity Exposure running on the remote host is prior to 3.42.17. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TNS-2023-33 advisory.
Tenable Identity Exposure leverages third-party software to help provide underlying functionality. Several of the third-party components (RabbitMQ, libcurl, and nodeJS) were found to contain vulnerabilities, and updated versions have been made available by the providers. Out of caution and in line with best practice, Tenable has opted to upgrade these components to address the potential impact of the issues. Tenable Identity Exposure 3.42.17 updates RabbitMQ to version 3.12.6, libcurl to version 8.4.0 and nodeJS to version 18.18.0 to address the identified vulnerabilities.

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2023:1583 advisory.

  - The glob-parent package before 6.0.1 for Node.js allows ReDoS (regular expression denial of service)     attacks against the enclosure regular expression. (CVE-2021-35065)

  - This affects versions of the package http-cache-semantics before 4.1.1. The issue can be exploited via     malicious request header values sent to a server, when that server reads the cache policy from the request     using this library. (CVE-2022-25881)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Node.js <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1 and <14.21.3 that made     it possible to bypass the experimental Permissions (https://nodejs.org/api/permissions.html) feature in     Node.js and access non authorized modules by using process.mainModule.require(). This only affects users     who had enabled the experimental permissions option with --experimental-policy. (CVE-2023-23918)

  - An untrusted search path vulnerability exists in Node.js. <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1, and <14.21.3 that     could allow an attacker to search and potentially load ICU data when running with elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2023-23920)

  - Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client for Node.js. Starting with version 2.0.0 and prior to version 5.19.1, the     undici library does not protect `host` HTTP header from CRLF injection vulnerabilities. This issue is     patched in Undici v5.19.1. As a workaround, sanitize the `headers.host` string before passing to undici.
    (CVE-2023-23936)

  - Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client for Node.js. Prior to version 5.19.1, the `Headers.set()` and     `Headers.append()` methods are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks when     untrusted values are passed into the functions. This is due to the inefficient regular expression used to     normalize the values in the `headerValueNormalize()` utility function. This vulnerability was patched in     v5.19.1. No known workarounds are available. (CVE-2023-24807)

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

  - A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The ares_set_sortlist is missing checks about the validity of the     input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow.

This may lead to false     positive errors during subsequent cryptographic operations that happen to be on the same thread. This in     turn could be used to cause a denial of service.

The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is prior to 14.21.3, 16.19.1, 18.14.1, 19.6.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Thursday February 16 2023 Security Releases advisory.

  - It was possible to bypass Permissions and access non authorized modules by using     process.mainModule.require().  This only affects users who had enabled the experimental permissions option     with --experimental-policy. Thank you, to @goums for reporting this vulnerability and thank you  Rafael     Gonzaga for fixing it. Impacts: (CVE-2023-23918)

  - In some cases Node.js did does not clear the OpenSSL error stack after operations that may set it. This     may lead to false positive errors during subsequent cryptographic operations that happen to be on the same     thread. This in turn could be used to cause a denial of service. Thank you, to Morgan Jones and Ryan     Dorrity from Viasat Secure Mobile for reporting and discovering this vulnerability and thank you Rafael     Gonzaga for fixing it. Impacts: (CVE-2023-23919)

  - The fetch API in Node.js did not prevent CRLF injection in the 'host' header potentially allowing attacks     such as HTTP response splitting and HTTP header injection. Thank you, to Zhipeng Zhang (@timon8) for     reporting this vulnerability and thank you Robert Nagy for fixing it. Impacts: (CVE-2023-23936)

  - The Headers.set() and Headers.append() methods in the fetch API in Node.js where vulnerable to Regular a     Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks. Thank you, to Carter Snook for reporting this vulnerability     and thank you Rich Trott for fixing it. Impacts: (CVE-2023-24807)

  - Node.js would search and potentially load ICU data when running with elevated priviledges. Node.js was     modified to build with ICU_NO_USER_DATA_OVERRIDE to avoid this. Thank you, to Ben Noordhuis for reporting     this vulnerability and thank you  Rafael Gonzaga for fixing it. Impacts: (CVE-2023-23920)
