CVE-2018-7160
It was found that when a Node.js script is run in inspector mode, Node.js did not properly validate the Host header, leaving the inspector vulnerable to a DNS rebind attack and bypass same-origin policy. If a developer had an inspector session running, and was visiting a malicious website, the site could carry on a DNS rebind attack, allowing the site to have full access to the debugged script.
