CVE-2018-7161 is a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) in Node.js, published June 13, 2018. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 7.49%, the 94th percentile. Fixed in nodejs 8.11.3-r0.

All versions of Node.js 8.x, 9.x, and 10.x are vulnerable and the severity is HIGH. An attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by causing a node server providing an http2 server to crash. This can be accomplished by interacting with the http2 server in a manner that triggers a cleanup bug where objects are used in native code after they are no longer available. This has been addressed by updating the http2 implementation.
