NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs20-devel package and not the nodejs20-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw in Node.js's permission model allows a file's access and modification timestamps to be changed via futimes() even when the process has only read permissions. Unlike utimes(), futimes() does not apply the expected write-permission checks, which means file metadata can be modified in read-only directories. This behavior could be used to alter timestamps in ways that obscure activity, reducing the reliability of logs. This vulnerability affects users of the permission model on Node.js v20, v22, v24, and v25.
