How to fix?

Upgrade Chainguard nodejs-21 to version 21.7.3-r8 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs-21 package and not the nodejs-21 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

The Permission Model assumes that any path starting with two backslashes \ has a four-character prefix that can be ignored, which is not always true. This subtle bug leads to vulnerable edge cases.
