Upgrade request-filtering-agent to version 3.2.1 or higher.
Overview
request-filtering-agent is an An http(s).Agent implementation that block request Private IP address.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception via the createConnection method in RequestFilteringHttpAgent and RequestFilteringHttpsAgent, when a blocked IP address is encountered during connection setup. The validation error is thrown synchronously rather than being passed through the socket error path, causing an unhandled exception that crashes the Node.js process. An attacker can trigger this by causing the agent to attempt a connection to a filtered address.
