How to Fix GHSA-9vrw-m88g-w75q

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @hapi/accept dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

@hapi/accept fixed: 3.2.4 
npm install @hapi/accept@3.2.4
@hapi/accept fixed: 5.0.1 
npm install @hapi/accept@5.0.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls @hapi/accept

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-9vrw-m88g-w75q, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @hapi/accept

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @hapi/accept in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.2.4), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @hapi/accept command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In @hapi/accept, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Versions of `@hapi/accept` prior to 3.2.4 or 5.0.1 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. The Accept-Encoding HTTP header parser has a vulnerability which will cause the function to throw a system error if the header contains some invalid values. Because hapi rethrows system errors (as opposed to catching expected application errors), the error is thrown all the way up the stack. If no unhandled exception handler is available, the application will exist, allowing an attacker to shut down services. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 3.2.4 or 5.0.1.
