Questions

About node-request-utils

Is node-request-utils safe to use?

No. Vulert records a malicious-package vulnerability for node-request-utils: a published version contained hostile code rather than a bug, and the package looks like one that was withdrawn for abuse. Do not install it, and check whether it is already resolved in your dependencies.

How many vulnerabilities does node-request-utils have?

1 vulnerability is recorded for node-request-utils in the npm ecosystem: 1 critical, 0 high, 0 medium and 0 low. The ledger on this page lists the same counts next to the date of the most recent disclosure.

How often are new node-request-utils vulnerabilities disclosed?

1 vulnerability was recorded for node-request-utils in the last 12 months, and the oldest entry in this database dates to 31 Aug 2026. Recency matters more than a lifetime total: it shows how actively new issues are being disclosed for the package you are considering.

Which versions of node-request-utils are affected?

Each vulnerability on this page lists the affected version range and the fixed version to move to. Open the vulnerability for the version you actually run — fixes are specific to a release line, not to the package as a whole.

What does a malicious-package vulnerability mean?

It means the published package itself contained hostile code — a backdoor, a credential stealer or similar — rather than only a bug. Registries remove such packages once they are confirmed, so treat any application that resolved an affected version as compromised and rotate the credentials it could reach.

How do I monitor node-request-utils for upcoming vulnerabilities?

Upload the manifest or SBOM for your application at vulert.com/scanner and Vulert keeps checking the node-request-utils version you actually run against new disclosures, then alerts you when one affects it. There is no installation and no source-code access required.
