Denial of Service in @hapi/content
Quick fix
GHSA-3wqh-h42r-x8fq — @hapi/content: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install @hapi/content@5.0.2Details
Versions of `@hapi/content` prior to 4.1.1 and 5.0.1 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. The Content-Encoding HTTP header parser has a vulnerability which will cause the function to throw a system error if the header contains some invalid values. Because hapi rethrows system errors (as opposed to catching expected application errors), the error is thrown all the way up the stack. If no unhandled exception handler is available, the application will exist, allowing an attacker to shut down services.
## Recommendation
Upgrade to version 5.0.2. Versions 4.1.1 and 5.0.1 are fixed but only available for direct download through the repository.
