The Permission Model assumes that any path starting with two backslashes \ has a four-character prefix that can be ignored, which is not always true. This subtle bug leads to vulnerable edge cases.

An update of the nodejs package has been released.

The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is prior to 18.20.4, 20.15.1, 22.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Monday, July 8, 2024 Security Releases advisory.

  - The CVE-2024-27980 was identified as an incomplete fix for the BatBadBut vulnerability. This vulnerability     arises from improper handling of batch files with all possible extensions on Windows via     child_process.spawn / child_process.spawnSync. A malicious command line argument can inject arbitrary     commands and achieve code execution even if the shell option is not enabled. This vulnerability affects     all users of child_process.spawn and child_process.spawnSync on Windows in all active release lines.
    Impact: Thank you, to tianst for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it.
    (CVE-2024-27980)

  - A security flaw in Node.js allows a bypass of network import restrictions. By embedding non-network     imports in data URLs, an attacker can execute arbitrary code, compromising system security. Verified on     various platforms, the vulnerability is mitigated by forbidding data URLs in network imports. Exploiting     this flaw can violate network import security, posing a risk to developers and servers. Impact: Thank you,     to dittyroma for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. (CVE-2024-22020)

  - A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js, affecting users of the experimental permission model when     the --allow-fs-write flag is used. Node.js Permission Model do not operate on file descriptors, however,     operations such as fs.fchown or fs.fchmod can use a read-only file descriptor to change the owner and     permissions of a file. This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental permission model in     Node.js 20 and Node.js 22. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the permission model is an     experimental feature of Node.js. Impact: Thank you, to 4xpl0r3r for reporting this vulnerability and thank     you RafaelGSS for fixing it. (CVE-2024-36137)

  - 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 22. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the     permission model is an experimental feature of Node.js. Impact: Thank you, to haxatron1 for reporting this     vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. (CVE-2024-22018)

  - The Permission Model assumes that any path starting with two backslashes \ has a four-character prefix     that can be ignored, which is not always true. This subtle bug leads to vulnerable edge cases. This     vulnerability affects Windows users of the Node.js Permission Model in version v22.x and v20.x Impact:
    Thank you, to tniessen for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it.
    (CVE-2024-37372)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - Next.js is a React framework. In versions of Next.js prior to 12.0.5 or 11.1.3, invalid or malformed URLs
    could lead to a server crash. In order to be affected by this issue, the deployment must use Next.js
    versions above 11.1.0 and below 12.0.5, Node.js above 15.0.0, and next start or a custom server.
    Deployments on Vercel are not affected, along with similar environments where invalid requests are
    filtered before reaching Next.js. Versions 12.0.5 and 11.1.3 contain patches for this issue.
    (CVE-2021-43803)

  - A OS Command Injection vulnerability exists in Node.js versions <14.20.0, <16.20.0, <18.5.0 due to an
    insufficient IsAllowedHost check that can easily be bypassed because IsIPAddress does not properly check
    if an IP address is invalid before making DBS requests allowing rebinding attacks. (CVE-2022-32212)

  - Node.js is vulnerable to Hijack Execution Flow: DLL Hijacking under certain conditions on Windows
    platforms.This vulnerability can be exploited if the victim has the following dependencies on a Windows
    machine:* OpenSSL has been installed and “C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL\openssl.cnf” exists.Whenever
    the above conditions are present, `node.exe` will search for `providers.dll` in the current user
    directory.After that, `node.exe` will try to search for `providers.dll` by the DLL Search Order in
    Windows.It is possible for an attacker to place the malicious file `providers.dll` under a variety of
    paths and exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-32223)

  - The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation
    can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023. (CVE-2023-44487)
