Description Thomas Leroy 2023-10-16 09:30:09 UTC

A previously disclosed vulnerability (CVE-2023-30584) was patched insufficiently. The new path traversal vulnerability arises because the implementation does not protect itself against the application overwriting built-in utility functions with user-defined implementations.

Impacts:

This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental permission model in Node.js 20.x.
Please note that at the time this CVE is issued, the permission model is an experimental feature of Node.js.

Thanks to Tobias Nießen who reported and created the security patch.

Upstream claims this affects only Node 20. Electron uses Node 18. Removing myself from cc.
