Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'node-ini' package(s) announced via the DLA-2503-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that there was an issue in node-ini, a .ini format parser and serializer for Node.js, where an application could be exploited by a malicious input file.

CVE-2020-7788

This affects the package ini before 1.3.6. If an attacker submits a malicious INI file to an application that parses it with ini.parse, they will pollute the prototype on the application. This can be exploited further depending on the context.

For Debian 9 Stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.0-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your node-ini packages.
