{"id":"GHSA-wq4c-wm6x-jw44","summary":"Withdrawn Advisory: Node.js Inspector RCE via DNS Rebinding","details":"## Withdrawn Advisory\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because this vulnerability affects inspector code in https://github.com/nodejs/node, not the [legacy debugger](https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector#legacy-debugger) at https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector. https://github.com/nodejs/node is not in a [supported ecosystem](https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/README.md#supported-ecosystems).\n\n## Original Description\nThe Node.js inspector, in 6.x and later is vulnerable to a DNS rebinding attack which could be exploited to perform remote code execution. An attack is possible from malicious websites open in a web browser on the same computer, or another computer with network access to the computer running the Node.js process. A malicious website could use a DNS rebinding attack to trick the web browser to bypass same-origin-policy checks and to allow HTTP connections to localhost or to hosts on the local network. If a Node.js process with the debug port active is running on localhost or on a host on the local network, the malicious website could connect to it as a debugger, and get full code execution access.","aliases":["CVE-2018-7160"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:49:43.286147377Z","published":"2022-05-13T01:08:23Z","withdrawn":"2023-10-09T00:42:54Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2023-07-20T22:39:06Z","nvd_published_at":"2018-05-17T14:29:00Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-290"],"severity":"HIGH"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-7160"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/e3950d1a402b80e4098a40aacddd6a104da0cfa9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/march-2018-security-releases"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K63025104?utm_source=f5support&utm_medium=RSS"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.oracle.com//security-alerts/cpujul2021.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-inspector","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/node-inspector"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2022/05/GHSA-wq4c-wm6x-jw44/GHSA-wq4c-wm6x-jw44.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
