Description
The Node.js inspector, in 6.x and later is vulnerable to a DNS rebinding attack which could be exploited to perform remote code execution. An attack is possible from malicious websites open in a web browser on the same computer, or another computer with network access to the computer running the Node.js process. A malicious website could use a DNS rebinding attack to trick the web browser to bypass same-origin-policy checks and to allow HTTP connections to localhost or to hosts on the local network. If a Node.js process with the debug port active is running on localhost or on a host on the local network, the malicious website could connect to it as a debugger, and get full code execution access.
Affected configurations
• nodejs node.js (>= 6.0.0 <= 6.8.1)
• nodejs node.js (>= 6.9.0 < 6.14.0)
• nodejs node.js (>= 8.0.0 <= 8.8.1)
