Description Sam Fowler 2018-05-10 04:28:01 UTC 
Versions of https-proxy-agent before 2.2.0 are vulnerable to denial of service. This is due to unsanitized options (proxy.auth) being passed to Buffer().

https-proxy-agent is included in supercore by it's dependency on NPM. It doesn't make use of the vulnerable API in the supercore source code.
