CVE-2024-36137
Description
A flaw was found in Node.js, affecting users of the experimental permission model when the --allow-fs-write flag is used. The Node.js Permission Model does 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.
Statement
This vulnerability is specific to the Permission Model, which is currently an experimental feature of Node.js.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
