# CVE-2026-21711: Node.js 14 and 12 others: Improper Access Control CVE-2026-21711 is fixed in 17 products on 2 platforms, first by RHSA-2026:7670, released March 12, 2026. 12 other affected products have no fix yet. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-21711 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.5 (Important) - EPSS: 0.0017 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Mar 30, 2026 - Weakness: CWE-284: Improper Access Control - Vendor advisory: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-21711 ## Description A flaw in Node.js Permission Model network enforcement leaves Unix Domain Socket (UDS) server operations without the required permission checks, while all comparable network paths correctly enforce them. As a result, code running under `--permission` without `--allow-net` can create and expose local IPC endpoints, allowing communication with other processes on the same host outside of the intended network restriction boundary. This vulnerability affects Node.js **25.x** processes using the Permission Model where `--allow-net` is intentionally omitted to restrict network access. Note that `--allow-net` is currently an experimental feature. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Windows apps | Node.js | 25.8.2 | [Node.js
