CVSS 3.1
7.5 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2023-38504
High (7.5) in sailsjs sails. EPSS 0.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in sails 1.5.7.
Sails is a realtime MVC Framework for Node.js. In Sails apps prior to version 1.5.7,, an attacker can send a virtual request that will cause the node process to crash. This behavior was fixed in Sails v1.5.7. As a workaround, disable the sockets hook and remove the `sails.io.js` client.
