Insufficient Header Validation

Affecting node package, versions [12.0.0,12.15.0) || [13.0.0,13.8.0) || [10.0.0,10.19.0)

Overview

node is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Header Validation. HTTP header values can contain trailing OWS, but it should be stripped. It is not semantically part of the header's value, and if treated as part of the value, it can cause spurious inequality between expected and actual header values.

Remediation

Upgrade node to version 12.15.0, 13.8.0, 10.19.0 or higher.
