How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.19 openjdk17 to version 17.0.11_p9-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjdk17 package and not the openjdk17 package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.19 relevant fixed versions and status.

On Linux, Node.js ignores certain environment variables if those may have been set by an unprivileged user while the process is running with elevated privileges with the only exception of CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE. Due to a bug in the implementation of this exception, Node.js incorrectly applies this exception even when certain other capabilities have been set. This allows unprivileged users to inject code that inherits the process's elevated privileges.
