NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:18/nodejs-docs package and not the nodejs:18/nodejs-docs package as distributed by RHEL.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Node.js <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1 and <14.21.3 that made it possible to bypass the experimental Permissions (https://nodejs.org/api/permissions.html) feature in Node.js and access non authorized modules by using process.mainModule.require(). This only affects users who had enabled the experimental permissions option with --experimental-policy.
