QID 983904

QID 983904: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for superagent (GHSA-8225-6cvr-8pqp)

Affected versions of `superagent` do not check the post-decompression size of ZIP compressed HTTP responses prior to decompressing. This results in the package being vulnerable to a [ZIP bomb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb) attack, where an extremely small ZIP file becomes many orders of magnitude larger when decompressed. This may result in unrestrained CPU/Memory/Disk consumption, causing a denial of service condition. ## Recommendation Update to version 3.7.0 or later.

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

CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.9 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as High - 7.1 severity.
