CVE-2023-32005
First published: Tue Sep 12 2023(Updated: )
Node.js could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to restrict file stats through the fs.statfs API in the permission model. By using the --allow-fs-read flag with a non-* argument, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to retrieve stats from files that they do not have explicit read access to.
