Node fetch vulnerability
Issue date: 21-09-2021Affects versions: 14.6
Security Issue ID
SECURITY-235
Affected Product Version(s)
14.6.0 and previous releases.
Severity
low
Description
NPM-1556 suppress
Node Fetch did not honor the size option after following a redirect, which means that when a content size was over the limit, a FetchError would never get thrown and the process would end without failure. For most people, this fix will have a little or no impact. However, if you are relying on node-fetch to gate files above a size, the impact could be significant, for example: If you don't double-check the size of the data after fetch() has completed, your JS thread could get tied up doing work on a large file (DoS) and/or cost you money in computing.
