Improper validation of integrity check value in Node.js - CVE-2023-38552

Vulnerability identifier: #VU82069

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38552

CWE-ID: CWE-354

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the policy feature, which checks the integrity of a resource against a trusted manifest. An application can intercept the operation and return a forged checksum to node's policy implementation, thus effectively disabling the integrity check.
