Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.Description
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-304 advisory.The use of Module._load() can bypass the policy mechanism and require modules outside of the policy.json definition for a given module.
Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the policy mechanism is an experimental feature of Node.js.
Impacts:
This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy mechanism in all active release lines:
16.x, 18.x and, 20.x. (CVE-2023-32002)
The use of module.constructor.createRequire() can bypass the policy mechanism and require modules outside of the policy.json definition for a given module.
Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the policy mechanism is an experimental feature of Node.js.
Impacts:
This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy mechanism in all active release lines:
16.x, 18.x and, 20.x. (CVE-2023-32006)
The use of the deprecated API process.binding() can bypass the policy mechanism by requiring internal modules and eventually take advantage of process.binding('spawn_sync') run arbitrary code, outside of the limits defined in a policy.json file.
Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the policy is an experimental feature of Node.js.
Impacts
This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy mechanism in all active release lines:
