Vulnerable Resources

github.com/open-policy-agent/opa v0.42.2

Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource: This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive resources. The issue is caused by incorrect permission assignment, which can be exploited by an attacker to gain elevated privileges.

path-to-regexp 0.1.10

Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS): This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by crafting a malicious regular expression that takes an excessive amount of time to evaluate. The issue is caused by a lack of input validation, which can be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial of service.

express 4.19.2

Cross-site Scripting: This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code into the application, which can be executed by users. The issue is caused by a lack of input validation, which can be exploited by an attacker to inject malicious code.
