First published: Thu Feb 16 2023(Updated: )
Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in the Headers.set() and Headers.append() methods in the fetch API. By sending a specially-crafted regex input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
