(CVE-2023-30581, CVE-2023-30590)
- The llhttp parser in the http module in Node v20.2.0 does not strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). The CR character (without LF) is sufficient to delimit HTTP header fields in the llhttp parser. According to RFC7230 section 3, only the CRLF sequence should delimit each header-field. This impacts all Node.js active versions: v16, v18, and, v20 (CVE-2023-30589)
- The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions for the Module._load() method. A remote attacker can bypass the policy mechanism and include modules outside of the policy.json definition for a given module. (CVE-2023-32002)
- The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions for the module.constructor.createRequire() method. A remote attacker can bypass the policy mechanism and include modules outside of the policy.json definition for a given module. (CVE-2023-32006)
- The vulnerability exists due to usage of deprecated API process.binding(). A remote attacker can bypass the policy mechanism by requiring internal modules and eventually take advantage of process.binding('spawn_sync') run arbitrary code, outside of the limits defined in a policy.json file.
(CVE-2023-32559)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Update the affected nodejs14, nodejs14-devel, nodejs14-docs and / or npm14 packages.
