What it is about

Node.js ist eine Plattform zur Entwicklung von Netzwerkanwendungen. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Node.js ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, Dateien zu manipulieren oder seine Privilegien zu erweitern.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • beliebigen Code auszuführen
  • Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen
  • einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen
  • vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen
  • Dateien zu manipulieren oder seine Privilegien zu erweitern

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Debian Linux
  • Amazon Linux 2
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • Ubuntu Linux
  • F5 BIG-IP
  • SUSE Linux
  • Oracle Linux
  • Gentoo Linux
  • IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software 9.6
  • IBM Business Automation Workflow
  • RESF Rocky Linux
  • IBM App Connect Enterprise

and 12 more

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:

  • Open Source Node.js 18.19.1
  • Open Source Node.js 20.11.1
  • Open Source Node.js 21.6.2
  • IBM DataPower Gateway 10.5.4
  • IBM DataPower Gateway 10.5.0.10
  • IBM DataPower Gateway 10.0.1.18
  • IBM App Connect Enterprise Certified Container Operator 11.5.0
  • IBM App Connect Enterprise Certified Container Operator 5.0.17
  • Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Policy Manager 6.60.00

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
