{"id":"BIT-node-2023-32559","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.","aliases":["BIT-node-min-2023-32559","CVE-2023-32559"],"modified":"2025-11-06T13:25:46.476Z","published":"2024-03-06T10:59:36.367Z","database_specific":{"severity":"High","cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:nodejs:node.js:*:*:*:*:-:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:nodejs:node.js:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://hackerone.com/reports/1946470"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20231006-0006/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-32559"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2024/09/msg00029.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/node"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"16.20.2"},{"introduced":"17.0.0"},{"fixed":"18.17.1"},{"introduced":"19.0.0"},{"fixed":"20.5.1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/node/BIT-node-2023-32559.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
