An attacker can craft a request with an invalid port specification within the Host header, such as example.com:65536 or example.com:8080:8080. When the adapter attempts to process these requests, the logic fails to correctly generate a request URL and enters a recursive failure state. This results in an uncaught TypeError: Invalid URL exception. If the server is configured with staticHeaders: true, this exception remains unhandled, causing the entire Node.js process to terminate. This vulnerability is limited to availability disruption and does not facilitate data exfiltration or remote code execution.

Impact

The vulnerability impacts applications using the @astrojs/node adapter, specifically those configured with the staticHeaders: true option, as these are susceptible to process termination. Successfully sending a crafted request to such an endpoint will crash the server, causing service downtime. Applications using the default standalone configuration will experience a 500 Internal Server Error but will remain running. The attack surface is dependent on whether upstream infrastructure, such as CDNs or reverse proxies, filters malformed Host headers before they reach the Astro origin.

Recommendation

  • Upgrade to @astrojs/node version 11.1.3 or later immediately to incorporate the required host validation logic.
  • Implement strict request validation at the reverse proxy or CDN layer to block HTTP requests containing malformed Host headers or multiple port specifications.
  • Audit existing deployments to identify configurations utilizing staticHeaders: true, as these are at higher risk of process termination.
