How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:8 node-cli.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream node-cli package and not the node-cli package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The package node-cli before 1.0.0 insecurely uses the lock_file and log_file. Both of these are temporary, but it allows the starting user to overwrite any file they have access to.
