The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of wildcards in --allow-fs-read and --allow-fs-write. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.
2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21891)
CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
3) Improper handling of exceptional conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21892)
CWE-ID: CWE-755 - Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the way certain environment variables are handled by Node.js on Linux. A local user can use a specially crafted environment variable to escalate privileges on the system.
4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21896)
CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in Buffer.prototype.utf8Write. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
5) Improper Privilege Management (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22017)
CWE-ID: CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges.
The vulnerability exists due to setuid() does not affect libuv's internal io_uring operations if initialized before the call to setuid(). A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22019)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing HTTP requests with chunked encoding. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP request to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22025)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling brotli decoding. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24758)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
