Comment 1 Hardik Vyas 2020-09-23 14:07:02 UTC 
Statement:

In Red Hat Openshift Container Storage 4 the noobaa-core container includes the affected version of json-bigint as a dependency of googleapis, however the json-bigint library is not being used and hence this issue has been rated as having a security impact of Low.
