### Impact Undici cleared Authorization and Proxy-Authorization headers for `fetch()`, but did not clear them for `undici.request()`. ### Patches This has been patched in https://github.com/nodejs/undici/commit/6805746680d27a5369d7fb67bc05f95a28247d75.

### Impact Versions from 1.2.0 to 1.3.1 of Astro-Shield allow to bypass the allow-lists for cross-origin resources by introducing valid `integrity` attributes to the injected code. This implies that the injected SRI hash would be added to the generated CSP header, which would lead the browser to believe that the injected resource is legit. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker needs to first inject code into the rendered pages by exploiting other not-related potential vulnerabilities. ### Patches Version [1.3.2](https://github.com/kindspells/astro-shield/releases/tag/1.3.2) provides a patch. ### Workarounds - To not use the middleware functionality of Astro-Shield. - To use the middleware functionality of Astro-Shield ONLY for content that cannot be controlled in any way by external users. ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_

### Impact A random segment of ~1-10kb of Node.js heap memory allocated either side of a known buffer will be leaked into the final executable. This memory _could_ contain sensitive information such as environment variables, secrets files, etc. ### Patches This issue is patched in 18.3.1 ### Workarounds No workarounds, please update to a patched version of `@electron/packager` immediately if impacated.

### Impact When the following conditions are met: - Automated CSP headers generation for SSR content is enabled - The web application serves content that can be partially controlled by external users Then it is possible that the CSP headers generation feature might be "allow-listing" malicious injected resources like inlined JS, or references to external malicious scripts. ### Patches Available in version 1.3.0 . ### Workarounds - Do not enable CSP headers generation. - Use it only for dynamically generated content that cannot be controlled by external users in any way. ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_
