Error description

  • CVEID:   CVE-2019-15606
    DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass
    security restrictions, caused by an issue when HTTP header
    values do not have trailing OWS trimmed. By sending a
    specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this
    vulnerability to bypass authorization based on header value
    comparisons.

    CVEID:   CVE-2019-15604
    DESCRIPTION:   Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service,
    caused by improper certificate validation. By sending a

    DESCRIPTION:   Node.js vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling,
    caused by a flaw when handling unusual Transfer-Encoding HTTP
