Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2020-11-17 14:12:00 UTC 
Denial of Service through DNS request (High). A Node.js application that allows an attacker to trigger a DNS request for a host of their choice could trigger a Denial of Service by getting the application to resolve a DNS record with a larger number of responses.
