How to fix?

Upgrade node to version 20.19.2 or higher.

Overview

node is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling in the llhttp implementation, when handing HTTP/1 headers terminated with \r\n\rX instead of the required \r\n\r\n. This allows attackers to bypass proxy-based access controls and submit unauthorized requests.
