Comment 6 Mark Cooper 2020-09-06 21:36:39 UTC 
Statement:

In Red Hat Openshift Container Storage 4 the noobaa-core container includes the affected version of node-forge as a dependency of google-p12-pem, however the vulnerable function `util.setPath` is not being used and hence this issue has been rated as having a security impact of Low.

In OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) the prometheus container is behind OpenShift OAuth restricting access to the vulnerable node-forge library to authenticated users only, therefore the impact is Low.
Comment 7 errata-xmlrpc 2020-12-17 06:22:25 UTC 
This issue has been addressed in the following products:
