QID 983842

QID 983842: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for connect (GHSA-3fw8-66wf-pr7m)

Connect is a stack of middleware that is executed in order in each request. The "methodOverride" middleware allows the http post to override the method of the request with the value of the "_method" post key or with the header "x-http-method-override". Because the user post input was not checked, req.method could contain any kind of value. Because the req.method did not match any common method VERB, connect answered with a 404 page containing the "Cannot `[method]` `[url]`" content. The method was not properly encoded for output in the browser.

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

CVSS V3 rated as High - 6.1 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 4.3 severity.
