CVE-2021-31597

Published: Apr 22, 2021

Modified: Aug 3, 2024

PUBLISHED

Description

The xmlhttprequest-ssl package before 1.6.1 for Node.js disables SSL certificate validation by default, because rejectUnauthorized (when the property exists but is undefined) is considered to be false within the https.request function of Node.js. In other words, no certificate is ever rejected.
