How to fix?

Upgrade node to version 20.15.1, 22.4.1 or higher.

Overview

node is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Values. This is because the Permission Model assumes wrongly that any path starting with two backslashes \ has a four-character prefix that can be ignored.

Note: This vulnerability affects only Windows users of the Node.js Permission Model
