Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2023-23918
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when enable the experimental permissions option with --experimental-policy. By sending a specially-crafted request using process.mainModule.require(), an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass Permissions and access non authorized modules.
CVSS Base score: 6.5

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2017-18258
**DESCRIPTION:**libxml2 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the xz_head function in xzlib.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/141432 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2017-9048
**DESCRIPTION:**libxml2 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking of the strlen(buf) size in the xmlSnprintfElementContent function in valid.c. By sending a specially-crafted request, a local attacker could overflow a buffer and cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
