OESA-2025-1235 (CVE-2025-23083)

Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2025-03-07 11:08 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:08 – Source website

Summary

nodejs security update

Details

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

Security Fix(es):

With the aid of the diagnostics_channel utility, an event can be hooked into whenever a worker thread is created. This is not limited only to workers but also exposes internal workers, where an instance of them can be fetched, and its constructor can be grabbed and reinstated for malicious usage.

This vulnerability affects Permission Model users (--permission) on Node.js v20, v22, and v23.(CVE-2025-23083)

Severity

7.7 (High)
