Description

A security flaw in Node.js allows a bypass of network import restrictions.

By embedding non-network imports in data URLs, an attacker can execute arbitrary code, compromising system security.

Verified on various platforms, the vulnerability is mitigated by forbidding data URLs in network imports.

Exploiting this flaw can violate network import security, posing a risk to developers and servers.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity high, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H

  • Attack vector: Local — a local account, shell or session on the host is needed.
  • Attack complexity: High — the attacker first has to win a race, learn a secret or otherwise prepare the target.
  • Privileges required: None — an unauthenticated stranger can try it.
  • User interaction: Required — someone has to click, open or visit something.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
  • Integrity impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
