Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Node.js versions prior to 12.18.0 Node.js versions prior to 14.4.0

Description The issue is related to the implementation of the TLS protocol in Node.js, specifically with deficiencies in certificate authentication verification. This can potentially allow a remote attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack by exploiting the TLS session reuse, leading to a host certificate verification bypass.

Recommendations For Node.js versions prior to 12.18.0, update to version 12.18.0 or later. For Node.js versions prior to 14.4.0, update to version 14.4.0 or later.
