CVE-2017-16005
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.5)—
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.

En las versiones iguales o anteriores a la 0.9.11, http-signature solo firma los valores de cabecera, pero no los nombres de cabecera. Esto hace que http-signature sea vulnerable a falsificación de cabeceras. Así, si un atacante puede interceptar una petición, puede cambiar los nombres de cabecera y cambiar el significado de la petición sin cambiar la firma."
