Dependency Hierarchy:

• helmet-2.3.0.tgz (Root Library)
  • ❌ helmet-csp-1.2.2.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

Helmet-csp before 2.9.1 is vulnerable to a Configuration Override affecting the application's Content Security Policy (CSP). The package's browser sniffing for Firefox deletes the default-src CSP policy, which is the fallback policy. This allows an attacker to remove an application's default CSP, possibly rendering the application vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting.
