NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:20/nodejs-packaging package and not the nodejs:20/nodejs-packaging package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

With the aid of the diagnostics_channel utility, an event can be hooked into whenever a worker thread is created. This is not limited only to workers but also exposes internal workers, where an instance of them can be fetched, and its constructor can be grabbed and reinstated for malicious usage.

This vulnerability affects Permission Model users (--permission) on Node.js v20, v22, and v23.
