UnknownEPSS 2.60%

Last modified Jun 16, 2026

CVE-2012-2330 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Update method in src/node_http_parser.cc in Node.js before 0.6.17 and 0.7 before 0.7.8 does not properly check the length of a string, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (request header contents) and possibly spoof HTTP headers via a zero length string.. EPSS estimates a 2.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
