CVE-2019-5413
Description
The Node.js morgan package, before version 1.9.1, does not properly sanitize input in the compile() function, allowing for potential execution of code. This vulnerability can only be exploited by attackers with the ability to provide input to the compile() function or in combination with another prototype pollution vulnerability.
Statement
This vulnerability affects the nodejs-morgan RPM, used by the openshift3/logging-auth-proxy container in OpenShift Container Platform versions 3.4 through 3.10. The openshift3/logging-auth-proxy container does not expose the vulnerable compile() function, hence this vulnerability can only be exploited in combination with another prototype pollution vulnerability.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having a security impact of Low.
