Created nodejs-netmask tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: epel-7 [bug 1944829] Affects: fedora-32 [bug 1944828]
Statement: The impact of this flaw largely depends on the environment where the affected library is being used. This flaw could be used to redirect an adversary to an exposed, unprotected endpoint. Depending on the functionality of the affected endpoint that could result in a loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability. The affected library is used in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes only in the development and build processes. Consequently the severity of this flaw to RHACM is downgraded to low.
