CVSS 3.1 Score 9.8 of 10 (high)
Details
Summary
CVE-2023-39332 is a cyber vulnerability that affects various `node:fs` functions in Node.js environments. It allows paths to be specified as either strings or `Uint8Array` objects, which can be exploited for path traversal attacks. While Node.js prevents path traversal through strings and `Buffer` objects, it does not provide protection for non-`Buffer` `Uint8Array` objects. The vulnerability is similar to CVE-2023-32004, which only applies to `Buffer` objects. At the time this CVE was issued, the permission model of Node.js was still an experimental feature. This vulnerability has a high severity rating with a base score of 9.8 and poses a potential danger to organizations as it can be exploited remotely without user interaction, leading to high impacts on integrity and confidentiality. No remediation information or specific affected products are provided in the given text.
