CVE-2024-21890 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:9.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:20/nodejs-packaging package and not the nodejs:20/nodejs-packaging package as distributed by RHEL.
The Node.js Permission Model does not clarify in the documentation that wildcards should be only used as the last character of a file path. For example:
--allow-fs-read=/home/node/.ssh/*.pub
will ignore pub and give access to everything after .ssh/.
This misleading documentation affects all users using the experimental permission model in Node.js 20 and Node.js 21.
Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the permission model is an experimental feature of Node.js.
