Vulnerabilities 7
-
High 8.6
A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The ares_set_sortlist is missing checks about the validity of the input string,…
-
High 7.5
glob-parent 6.0.0 vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service
The glob-parent package before 6.0.1 for Node.js allows ReDoS (regular expression denial of service) attacks against the enclosure regular expression.
-
High 7.5
minimatch ReDoS vulnerability
A vulnerability was found in the minimatch package. This flaw allows a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) when calling the braceExpand function with specific arguments, resulting in a Denial of Service.
-
