NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs12 package and not the nodejs12 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the experimental policy mechanism in all active release lines: 16.x, 18.x and, 20.x. The use of the deprecated API process.binding() can bypass the policy mechanism by requiring internal modules and eventually take advantage of process.binding(&#39;spawn_sync&#39;) run arbitrary code, outside of the limits defined in a policy.json file. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the policy is an experimental feature of Node.js.
