CVE-2015-8027 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Node.js 0.12.x before 0.12.9, 4.x before 4.2.3, and 5.x before 5.1.1 does not ensure the availability of a parser for each HTTP socket, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uncaughtException and service outage) via a pipelined HTTP request.. EPSS estimates a 5.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
