    Access Restriction Bypass

    org.webjars.npm:xmlhttprequest-ssl is a fork of xmlhttprequest.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. The package disables SSL certificate validation by default, because rejectUnauthorized (when the property exists but is undefined) is considered to be false within the https.request function of Node.js. In other words, no certificate is ever rejected.

    How to fix Access Restriction Bypass?

    Upgrade org.webjars.npm:xmlhttprequest-ssl to version 1.6.1 or higher.

    Arbitrary Code Injection

    org.webjars.npm:xmlhttprequest-ssl is a fork of xmlhttprequest.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection. Provided requests are sent synchronously (async=False on xhr.open), malicious user input flowing into xhr.send could result in arbitrary code being injected and run.

    POC

    const { XMLHttpRequest } = require("xmlhttprequest")
    
    const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
    xhr.open("POST", "http://localhost.invalid/", false /* use synchronize request */)
    xhr.send("\\');require(\"fs\").writeFileSync(\"/tmp/aaaaa.txt\", \"poc-20210306\");req.end();//")
    

    How to fix Arbitrary Code Injection?

    Upgrade org.webjars.npm:xmlhttprequest-ssl to version 2.0.0 or higher.
