Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: nodejs / nodejs18 (CVE-2024-22020)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 216571

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of nodejs / nodejs18 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-22020 advisory.

 - A security flaw in Node.js allows a bypass of network import restrictions. By embedding non-network imports in data URLs, an attacker can execute arbitrary code, compromising system security. Verified on various platforms, the vulnerability is mitigated by forbidding data URLs in network imports. Exploiting this flaw can violate network import security, posing a risk to developers and servers. (CVE-2024-22020)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
