Details

Versions of @hapi/hapi prior to 18.4.1 or 19.1.1 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. The CORS request handler has a vulnerability which will cause the function to throw a system error if the header contains some invalid values. If no unhandled exception handler is available, the application will exist, allowing an attacker to shut down services.

Recommendation

Upgrade to versions 18.4.1, 19.1.1 or later.

Is GHSA-23vw-mhv5-grv5 in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected @hapi/hapi, and gives you the command that fixes it.
