Description
A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js, affecting users of the experimental permission model when the --allow-fs-read flag is used.<br />
This flaw arises from an inadequate permission model that fails to restrict file stats through the fs.lstat API. As a result, malicious actors can retrieve stats from files that they do not have explicit read access to.<br />
This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental permission model in Node.js 20 and Node.js 21.<br />
Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the permission model is an experimental feature of Node.js.
