Overview

CVE-2024-22018 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 10, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 2.9 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 2.9, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js, affecting users of the experimental permission model when the --allow-fs-read flag is used.

This flaw arises from an inadequate permission model that fails to restrict file stats through the fs.lstat API. As a result, malicious actors can retrieve stats from files that they do not have explicit read access to.

This vulnerability 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.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
