REDHAT-BUG-2244414: Path Traversal

First published: Mon Oct 16 2023(Updated: )

Various node:fs functions allow specifying paths as either strings or Uint8Array objects. In Node.js environments, the Buffer class extends the Uint8Array class. Node.js prevents path traversal through strings (see <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-30584">CVE-2023-30584</a>) and Buffer objects (see <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-32004">CVE-2023-32004</a>), but not through non-Buffer Uint8Array objects.
