QID 984041

QID 984041: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for hapi (GHSA-rc8h-3fv6-pxv8)

Versions of `hapi` prior to 11.1.3 are affected by a denial of service vulnerability. The vulnerability is triggered when certain input is passed into the If-Modified-Since or Last-Modified headers. This causes an 'illegal access' exception to be raised, and instead of sending a HTTP 500 error back to the sender, hapi will continue to hold the socket open until timed out (default node timeout is 2 minutes). ## Recommendation Update to v11.1.3 or later

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