    Summary: mysql Node.JS Module Vulnerable to Remote Memory Exposure

    Details: Versions of `mysql` before 2.14.0 are vulnerable to remove memory exposure. Affected versions of `mysql` package allocate and send an uninitialized memory over the network when a number is provided as a password. Only `mysql` running on Node.js versions below 6.0.0 are affected due to a throw added in newer node.js versions. Proof of Concept: ``` require('mysql').createConnection({ host: 'localhost', user: 'user', password : USERPROVIDEDINPUT, // number database : 'my_db' }).connect(); ``` ## Recommendation Update to version 2.14.0 or later.
