All the vulnerabilities related to the version 0.8.7 of the package
Denial of Service in http-proxy
Versions of http-proxy
prior to 1.18.1 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. An HTTP request with a long body triggers an ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT
unhandled exception that crashes the proxy server. This is only possible when the proxy server sets headers in the proxy request using the proxyReq.setHeader
function.
For a proxy server running on http://localhost:3000
, the following curl request triggers the unhandled exception:
curl -XPOST http://localhost:3000 -d "$(python -c 'print("x"*1025)')"
Upgrade to version 1.18.1 or later
