| CVE | Priority | Title | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| [CVE-2026-106071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2026-106071.md) | High | A flaw in Node.js Permission Model filesystem enforcement can grant access to paths that do not match a wildcard `--allow-fs-read` or `--allow-fs-write` rule.  When the requested path is shorter than the prefix of a wildcard grant, the radix tree lookup stops comparing early and treats the path as a match. For example, `--allow-fs-read=/etc/passwd.*` also allows reading `/etc/passwd`. This requires the wildcard grant to sit directly under the root of the permission tree, for example when it is the only grant for that scope. This is a different root cause from CVE-2026-58043.  This vulnerability affects Node.js **26.x**. | no-fix |
| [CVE-2026-106070](https://patchblox.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2026-106070.md) | Routine | Node.js and 17 others: Business Logic Errors | no-fix |
