What it is about

Node.js ist eine Plattform zur Entwicklung von Netzwerkanwendungen. Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Node.js ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, erweiterte Berechtigungen zu erlangen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren und vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen.

Under what conditions?

The BSI does not name any particular preconditions. Exploitable remotely according to the BSI.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • beliebigen Code auszuführen
  • erweiterte Berechtigungen zu erlangen
  • Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen
  • Daten zu manipulieren
  • vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Debian Linux
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • SUSE Linux
  • Oracle Linux
  • SUSE openSUSE
  • RESF Rocky Linux
  • HCL BigFix WebUI
  • Open Source Node.js <20.20.0
  • Open Source Node.js <22.22.0
  • Open Source Node.js <24.13.0
  • Open Source Node.js <25.3.0
  • IBM Business Automation Workflow

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 20.20.0
  • Open Source Node.js 22.22.0
  • Open Source Node.js 24.13.0
  • Open Source Node.js 25.3.0

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.
