Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch the checkServerIdentity function in lib/tls.js. An attacker can cause a TLS client to accept a certificate that does not identify the connected peer by supplying a non-canonical numeric hostname, such as 127.1 or 0127.0.0.1, that domainToASCII() normalizes to an IP address while the platform resolver interprets it as a different address. This can enable server impersonation and expose or allow alteration of TLS traffic.
Notes
- At certificate matching, the bypass requires the certificate to contain an IP SAN matching the normalized address; a DNS SAN or CN alone does not satisfy this IP-address match.
