CVE-2018-12123
Description
From CVE.org
Node.js: All versions prior to Node.js 6.15.0, 8.14.0, 10.14.0 and 11.3.0: Hostname spoofing in URL parser for javascript protocol: If a Node.js application is using url.parse() to determine the URL hostname, that hostname can be spoofed by using a mixed case "javascript:" (e.g. "javAscript:") protocol (other protocols are not affected). If security decisions are made about the URL based on the hostname, they may be incorrect.
Statement
The nodejs RPMs shipped in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) versions 3.6 through 3.10 are vulnerable to this flaw because they contain the affected code. Later versions of OCP used nodejs RPMs delivered from Red Hat Software Collections and Red Hat Enterprise Linux channels.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
