CVE-2024-21896 (GCVE-0-2024-21896)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-02-20 01:31 – Updated: 2025-04-30 22:25
VLAI?
Summary
The permission model protects itself against path traversal attacks by calling path.resolve() on any paths given by the user. If the path is to be treated as a Buffer, the implementation uses Buffer.from() to obtain a Buffer from the result of path.resolve(). By monkey-patching Buffer internals, namely, Buffer.prototype.utf8Write, the application can modify the result of path.resolve(), which leads to a path traversal vulnerability. 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.
Severity ?

Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a todos los usuarios que utilizan el modelo de permiso experimental en Node.js 20 y Node.js 21. Tenga en cuenta que en el momento en que se emiti\u00f3 este CVE, el modelo de permiso es una caracter\u00edstica experimental de Node.js.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"baseScore\":9.8,\"baseSeverity\":\"CRITICAL\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":3.9,\"impactScore\":5.9}],\"cvssMetricV30\":[{\"source\":\"support@hackerone.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.0\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N\",\"baseScore\":7.9,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"REQUIRED\",\"scope\":\"CHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"NONE\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.5,\"impactScore\":5.8}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-27\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:nodejs:node.js:*:*:*:*:-:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"20.0.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"20.11.1\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"EB510747-739C-4654-86E1-337962640D6E\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:nodejs:node.js:*:*:*:*:-:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"21.0.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"21.6.2\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"47D50080-1F46-4A8C-B766-971F7FBCA5C1\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/11/1\",\"source\":\"support@hackerone.com\",\"tags\":[\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://hackerone.com/reports/2218653\",\"source\":\"support@hackerone.com\",\"tags\":[\"Issue Tracking\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20240329-0002/\",\"source\":\"support@hackerone.com\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/11/1\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Mailing List\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://hackerone.com/reports/2218653\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Issue Tracking\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20240329-0002/\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]}]}}",
