{"id":"AZL-27974","summary":"CVE-2023-32559 affecting package nodejs18 for versions less than 18.17.1-2","details":"A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the experimental policy mechanism in all active release lines: 16.x, 18.x and, 20.x. The use of the deprecated API `process.binding()` can bypass the policy mechanism by requiring internal modules and eventually take advantage of `process.binding('spawn_sync')` run arbitrary code, outside of the limits defined in a `policy.json` file. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the policy is an experimental feature of Node.js.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:10:36.338564Z","published":"2023-08-24T02:15:09Z","upstream":["CVE-2023-32559"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-32559"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"nodejs18","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:2","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/nodejs18"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"18.17.1-2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-27974.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
