Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-10-29 17:01:02 UTC

A vulnerability has been identified in the Express response.links function, allowing for arbitrary resource injection in the Link header when unsanitized data is used.

The issue arises from improper sanitization in `Link` header values, which can allow a combination of characters like `,`, `;`, and `<>` to preload malicious resources.

This vulnerability is especially relevant for dynamic parameters.

What are the potential security risks and consequences of exploiting this vulnerability? Could an attacker potentially execute arbitrary code or gain unauthorized access to sensitive information? https://incrediboxcolorboxmustard.org
