Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
subtext versions 4.1.0 and later
Description
The issue affects the Content-Encoding HTTP header parser, which can cause a system error when encountering invalid values in the header. This error is not caught and can propagate up the stack, potentially leading to the application exiting if no unhandled exception handler is available. This could allow an attacker to shut down services.
Recommendations
Update dependencies to use @hapi/subtext, as the subtext package is deprecated and now maintained under @hapi/subtext.
