QID 982081

QID 982081: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for xmlhttprequest-ssl (GHSA-72mh-269x-7mh5)

The xmlhttprequest-ssl package before 1.6.1 for Node.js disables SSL certificate validation by default, because rejectUnauthorized (when the property exists but is undefined) is considered to be false within the https.request function of Node.js. In other words, no certificate is ever rejected.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.

CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 9.4 severity.
