CVEID: CVE-2018-7159
Description: Node.js http module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the acceptance of incorrect Content-Length values, containing spaces within the value, in HTTP headers. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to confuse the script and launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 5.30
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143448 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score: *Undefined
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
CVEID: CVE-2018-7160
Description: Node.js inspector module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to properly validate the Host header. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass same-origin policy and conduct a DNS rebinding attack.
CVSS Base Score: 5.80
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143447 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score: *Undefined
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L
CVEID: CVE-2018-7161
Description: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error within the http2 implementation. By interacting with the http2 server in an insecure manner, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the node server providing an http2 server to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 7.50
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/144736 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score: *Undefined
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
CVEID: CVE-2018-12115
Description: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds write in Buffer. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to write to memory outside of a Buffer's memory space, corrupt Buffer objects or cause the process to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 8.20
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/148426 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score: *Undefined
