NVD Description

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

A previously disclosed vulnerability (CVE-2023-30584) was patched insufficiently in commit 205f1e6. 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.

Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the permission model is an experimental feature of Node.js.
