CVE-2025-23166 (GCVE-0-2025-23166)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-05-19 01:25 – Updated: 2025-05-28 00:07

Summary

The C++ method SignTraits::DeriveBits() may incorrectly call ThrowException() based on user-supplied inputs when executing in a background thread, crashing the Node.js process. Such cryptographic operations are commonly applied to untrusted inputs. Thus, this mechanism potentially allows an adversary to remotely crash a Node.js runtime.

Severity ?

7.5 (High)
