axios 0.21.0 security vulnerabilities CVE
💡 Result:
Axios version 0.21.0 has two known security vulnerabilities with assigned CVEs: 1. CVE-2020-28168: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). An attacker can bypass a proxy by providing a URL that redirects to a restricted host or IP. CVSS 3.1: 5.9 (Medium). Affected: Axios 0.19.0 to 0.21.0. Fixed in 0.21.1. 2. CVE-2021-3749: Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity (ReDoS) in the trim function, leading to denial of service. CVSS 3.1: 7.5 (High). Affected: Axios up to 0.21.1. Fixed in 0.21.2. Recommendation: Upgrade to at least Axios 0.21.2 or later (latest is 1.13.x or 0.30.x as of 2026). Snyk and other scanners may flag additional issues fixed in later versions, but these are the primary CVEs explicitly affecting 0.21.0 per NVD.

express 4.16.0 security vulnerabilities known issues
💡 Result:
Express 4.16.0, released on 2017-09-28, addressed several security issues via dependency updates but inherits later-discovered vulnerabilities in its dependencies and core features. No direct CVEs are assigned specifically to core Express code in this version, but security scanners flag multiple high/medium risks. Known security vulnerabilities affecting Express 4.16.0: - Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in response.redirect: Improper handling of user input allows XSS if conditions met (e.g., attacker controls input, specific rendering/click sequence). Fixed in 4.20.0+. (Snyk) - Open Redirect: Malformed URLs bypass allow lists due to encodeurl implementation in location header. Fixed in 4.19.2+. (Snyk) - qs Prototype Pollution (CVE-2022-24999): qs <6.10.3 (used in 4.16.0) allows DoS via proto in query strings causing process hang. Fixed in Express 4.17.3 (qs@6.9.7 backport). (CVE details, Snyk, GitHub History) Later scanners list additional inherited issues like prototype pollution (patched post-4.16.0) and qs updates (SB2022112911). Release notes highlight fixes in 4.16.0: Updated jshttp/forwarded (vulnerability fix, may break apps), pillarjs/send mime dep (vulnerability), Node.js 8.5.0 protection. (History.md, changelog) Known non-security issues: express.static change broke filename-as-root usage (undocumented), fixed in patches. (GitHub #3436) Recommendation: Upgrade to latest 4.x (4.22.1 as of 2025) or 5.x for all fixes. Snyk lists latest non-vulnerable as 5.1.0+.

jsonwebtoken 8.5.1 security vulnerabilities CVE-2022
💡 Result:
jsonwebtoken version 8.5.1 has four security vulnerabilities associated with CVE-2022 identifiers, all disclosed in December 2022 and affecting versions <=8.5.1. They are fixed in version 9.0.0. 1. CVE-2022-23541 (GHSA-hjrf-2m68-5959): Insecure implementation of key retrieval function allows forged tokens by verifying asymmetric-signed tokens with symmetric HS256 algorithm if misconfigured with shared key function for both key types. Severity: Moderate (CVSS 5.0 MEDIUM from GitHub). 2. CVE-2022-23540 (GHSA-qwph-4952-7xr6): Insecure default algorithm in jwt.verify defaults to 'none' if no algorithms specified and falsy secret/key, allowing signature bypass. Severity: Moderate (CVSS 6.4-7.6 MEDIUM/HIGH). 3. CVE-2022-23539 (GHSA-8cf7-32gw-wr33): Unrestricted key type allows legacy/insecure key usage (e.g., DSA) for signature verification if misconfigured. Severity: Moderate. 4. CVE-2022-23529 (GHSA-27h2-hvpr-p74q): Initially reported as insecure input validation in jwt.verify allowing RCE via poisoned secretOrPublicKey, but revoked as invalid by CVE program due to unrealistic prerequisites; still patched in v9 for safer defaults. Recommendation: Upgrade to jsonwebtoken 9.0.0 or later. Review jwt.verify usage: explicitly specify algorithms, avoid shared key functions for symmetric/asymmetric, ensure proper key validation.

lodash 4.17.20 prototype pollution CVE-2021-23337
💡 Result:
No, lodash version 4.17.20 is not vulnerable to prototype pollution via CVE-2021-23337. CVE-2021-23337 is a Command Injection vulnerability (not prototype pollution) in lodash versions prior to 4.17.21, affecting the template function. Lodash 4.17.20 is vulnerable to this CVE because it is before 4.17.21. However, lodash 4.17.20 addresses earlier prototype pollution vulnerabilities: - CVE-2019-10744 (defaultsDeep): Fixed in 4.17.12 - CVE-2020-8203 (zipObjectDeep, etc.): Fixed in 4.17.20 Lodash 4.17.20 has other vulnerabilities like prototype pollution in _.unset and _.omit (CVE-2025-13465, fixed in 4.17.23) and the command injection CVE-2021-23337 (fixed in 4.17.21). The query appears to confuse CVE-2021-23337 (command injection) with prototype pollution. Prototype pollution issues in lodash have separate CVEs (e.g., CVE-2020-8203, fixed by 4.17.20).
