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-2026-125333/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-125333/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-125333","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-125333/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-125333","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6cv4-p8m7-4r25","MINI-8x28-33vr-mgx4","MINI-96pw-3cc8-6xg5","MINI-9c9c-6m6v-vjqg","MINI-9f45-gj54-j65q","MINI-jf2p-5wjj-3548","MINI-xh5x-fm94-74rc","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-125333"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1333","name":"Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity"}],"description":"Forge (also called node-forge) is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript. From 0.1.2 until 1.4.3, forge.http uses _trimString() in lib/http.js to remove trailing whitespace from response header values and cookie names and values with a regular expression that can take quadratic time. A malicious server or on-path attacker can supply a long whitespace run followed by a non-whitespace character in a response header, causing response.readHeader() or response.getCookies() to repeatedly scan the input and block the Node.js event loop or browser tab for minutes. Applications are affected only when they use forge.http with a socket pool to communicate with an untrusted server; forge.http is not loaded by require('node-forge'), and the issue has no confidentiality or integrity impact.
