CVE-2015-9242

CVE-2015-9242 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the ecstatic node module prior to version 1.4.0. Malicious input within the If-Modified-Since header can trigger an exception in V8 when processed by new Date() or Date.parse(), causing the ecstatic server to crash. This is a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) with a network attack vector and low attack complexity, leading to a complete loss of availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
