CVE-2020-15168 -- node-fetchID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:2004110 | Date: (C)2020-10-08 (M)2021-09-11 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
node-fetch before versions 2.6.1 and 3.0.0-beta.9 did not honor the size option after following a redirect, which means that when a content size was over the limit, a FetchError would never get thrown and the process would end without failure. For most people, this fix will have a little or no impact. However, if you are relying on node-fetch to gate files above a size, the impact could be significant, for example: If you don"t double-check the size of the data after fetch has completed, your JS thread could get tied up doing work on a large file and/or cost you money in computing.
