An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-8251 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- node (Bitnami): affected from 14.0.0; fixed in 14.11.0\n- node-min (Bitnami): affected from 14.0.0; fixed in 14.11.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8251/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8251/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8251","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8251/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8251","record":{"aliases":["BIT-node-2020-8251","BIT-node-min-2020-8251","GHSA-9cwr-72m4-73jq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Node.js runtime","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause Node.js servers to reject new connections by delaying HTTP request submissions, leading to service unavailability.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"node.js","vendor":"nodejs"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"Node.js \u003c 14.11.0 is vulnerable to HTTP denial of service (DoS) attacks based on delayed requests submission which can make the server unable to accept new connections.","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in Node","id":"CVE-2020-8251","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"fedoraproject:fedora","products":["fedoraproject:fedora","nodejs:node.js"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2020"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Node","id":"CVE-2020-8252"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["14.11.0"],"introduced":["14.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"node","purl":"pkg:bitnami/node","source":"BIT-node-2020-8251"},{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["14.11.0"],"introduced":["14.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"node-min","purl":"pkg:bitnami/node-min","source":"BIT-node-min-2020-8251"}],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Pulse Secure Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2020-8250"},"products":["Node"],"published":"2020-09-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"PHP-CGI OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2024-4577","kev_date_added":"2024-06-12","published":"2024-06-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Grafana Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2021-39226","kev_date_added":"2022-08-25","published":"2021-10-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware ESXi and Horizon DaaS OpenSLP Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2019-5544","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium V8 Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2024-4947","kev_date_added":"2024-05-20","published":"2024-05-15"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Visuals Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-4671","kev_date_added":"2024-05-13","published":"2024-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Mojo Insufficient Data Validation","id":"CVE-2022-3075","kev_date_added":"2022-09-08","published":"2022-09-26"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Indexed DB API Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2021-30633","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-30","vendors":["NodeJS"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause Node.js servers to reject new connections by delaying HTTP request submissions, leading to service unavailability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8251/"}
