CVE-2017-16005 unimportant priority: Debian including 1 source packages (node-http-signature), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
Http-signature is a "Reference implementation of Joyent's HTTP Signature Scheme". In versions <=0.9.11, http-signature signs only the header values, but not the header names. This makes http-signature vulnerable to header forgery. Thus, if an attacker can intercept a request, he can swap header names and change the meaning of the request without changing the signature.
