CVE-2017-16118

by Fred · 06/06/2018

The forwarded module is used by the Express.js framework to handle the X-Forwarded-For header. It is vulnerable to a regular expression denial of service when it’s passed specially crafted input to parse. This causes the event loop to be blocked causing a denial of service condition.
