Overview

undici is an An HTTP/1.1 client, written from scratch for Node.js

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception through improper validation of the server_max_window_bits parameter in the permessage-deflate extension. An attacker can cause the process to terminate unexpectedly by sending a maliciously crafted value outside the valid range, which triggers an unhandled exception when the client attempts to create a zlib InflateRaw instance.
