NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream npm package and not the npm package as distributed by RHEL.

A cryptographic vulnerability exists on Node.js on linux in versions of 18.x prior to 18.40.0 which allowed a default path for openssl.cnf that might be accessible under some circumstances to a non-admin user instead of /etc/ssl as was the case in versions prior to the upgrade to OpenSSL 3.
