CVE-2019-10196
First published: Fri Apr 13 2018(Updated: )
A flaw was found in http-proxy-agent versions before 2.1.0. The http-proxy-agent passes auth option to the Buffer constructor without proper sanitization, resulting in DoS and uninitialized memory leak in setups where an attacker could submit typed input to the 'auth' parameter (e.g. JSON).
