CVE-2017-16026 is an information-disclosure vulnerability in the npm request HTTP-client package. When multipart mode is used and the request body is a numeric value, request can transmit the specified quantity of non-zero process memory as the HTTP request body rather than correctly serializing the numeric value. The issue affects request versions 2.2.6 through versions before 2.47.0, and versions later than 2.51.0 through 2.67.0.
