CVE-2023-38552
CVSS v2.0
7.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:C/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Node.js versions 18.x through 20.x
Description
The issue arises when the Node.js policy feature checks the integrity of a resource against a trusted manifest. An application can intercept this operation and return a forged checksum to the node's policy implementation, effectively disabling the integrity check. This affects users of the experimental policy mechanism in active release lines.
Recommendations
For Node.js versions 18.x through 20.x, consider disabling the experimental policy mechanism until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the policy feature to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
