Node.js 20: Improper Access Control
CVE-2023-30582 is fixed in Node.js 20 on 1 platform by Node.js 20 20.3.1 (version 20.3.1), released June 20, 2023. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js version 20, affecting users of the experimental permission model when the --allow-fs-read flag is used with a non-* argument. This flaw arises from an inadequate permission model that fails to restrict file watching through the fs.watchFile API. As a result, malicious actors can monitor files that they do not have explicit read access to. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the permission model is an experimental feature of Node.js.
