CVE-2016-10543  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade to version 3.0.2 or higher.

Overview

call is the primary HTTP router of the hapi framework.

The vulnerability arise from undefined values inside a path (last segment being an exception) making their way into components that do not care for values being undefined (eg. the database layer).

For example, the request URI /delete/company// may incorrectly match a route looking for /delete/company/{company}/. By itself, the bad match is not a vulnerability. However, depending on the remaining logic in the application, such a bad match may result in skipping a protection mechanisms. In the above example, if the route translates to a DB delete command, it might delete all the companies from the db.
