**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Node.js (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js, specifically affecting the handling of drive names in the Windows environment. Certain Node.js functions do not treat drive names as special on Windows. As a result, although Node.js assumes a relative path, it actually refers to the root directory. On Windows, a path that does not start with the file separator is treated as relative to the current directory. This vulnerability affects Windows users of the `path.join` API.
**Recommendations**
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `path.join` API until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the `path.join` function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using relative paths in the `path.join` API until the issue is resolved.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
