Vulert verdict on request-util i

Updated on 23 Oct 2026

Careful: one of the 2 vulnerabilities Vulert records for this package has no fix yet. Plan around that one, or apply its workaround. The rest have a fixed version to move to. One of them is a malicious-package vulnerability, where a published version of the package contained hostile code rather than only a bug — worth checking against the versions you have resolved.

Long-term outlook: risky 2 vulnerabilities on record across 3 years, none in the last year.

What to do: Check whether you ever resolved an affected version — the vulnerabilities below name the releases that shipped hostile code. Check what you run: Vulert alerts you when a safe version is published. Monitor it with Vulert →

How often are new request-util vulnerabilities disclosed?

0 vulnerabilities were recorded for request-util in the last 12 months, and the oldest entry in this database dates to 01 Mar 2022. 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 request-util 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 request-util for upcoming vulnerabilities?

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