  "details": "Versions of `http-proxy` prior to 1.18.1 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. An HTTP request with a long body triggers an `ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT` unhandled exception that crashes the proxy server. This is only possible when the proxy server sets headers in the proxy request using the `proxyReq.setHeader` function.   \n\nFor a proxy server running on `http://localhost:3000`, the following curl request triggers the unhandled exception:  \n```curl -XPOST http://localhost:3000 -d \"$(python -c \u0027print(\"x\"*1025)\u0027)\"```\n\n\n## Recommendation\n\nUpgrade to version 1.18.1 or later",
