Node.js and 3 others: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow')
CVE-2025-55131 is fixed in 44 products on 2 platforms, first by Node.js 25.3.0, released January 12, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
A flaw in Node.js's buffer allocation logic can expose uninitialized memory when allocations are interrupted, when using the `vm` module with the timeout option. Under specific timing conditions, buffers allocated with `Buffer.alloc` and other `TypedArray` instances like `Uint8Array` may contain leftover data from previous operations, allowing in-process secrets like tokens or passwords to leak or causing data corruption. While exploitation typically requires precise timing or in-process code execution, it can become remotely exploitable when untrusted input influences workload and timeouts, leading to potential confidentiality and integrity impact.
