The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is prior to 18.20.4, 20.15.1, 22.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the Monday, July 8, 2024 Security Releases advisory.

  - The CVE-2024-27980 was identified as an incomplete fix for the BatBadBut vulnerability. This vulnerability     arises from improper handling of batch files with all possible extensions on Windows via     child_process.spawn / child_process.spawnSync. A malicious command line argument can inject arbitrary     commands and achieve code execution even if the shell option is not enabled. This vulnerability affects     all users of child_process.spawn and child_process.spawnSync on Windows in all active release lines.
    Impact: Thank you, to tianst for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it.
    (CVE-2024-27980)

  - 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. Impact: Thank you,     to dittyroma for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. (CVE-2024-22020)

  - A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js, affecting users of the experimental permission model when     the --allow-fs-write flag is used. Node.js Permission Model do not operate on file descriptors, however,     operations such as fs.fchown or fs.fchmod can use a read-only file descriptor to change the owner and     permissions of a file. This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental permission model in     Node.js 20 and Node.js 22. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the permission model is an     experimental feature of Node.js. Impact: Thank you, to 4xpl0r3r for reporting this vulnerability and thank     you RafaelGSS for fixing it. (CVE-2024-36137)

  - A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js, affecting users of the experimental permission model when     the --allow-fs-read flag is used. This flaw arises from an inadequate permission model that fails to     restrict file stats through the fs.lstat API. As a result, malicious actors can retrieve stats from files     that they do not have explicit read access to. This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental     permission model in Node.js 20 and Node.js 22. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the     permission model is an experimental feature of Node.js. Impact: Thank you, to haxatron1 for reporting this     vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. (CVE-2024-22018)

  - The Permission Model assumes that any path starting with two backslashes \ has a four-character prefix     that can be ignored, which is not always true. This subtle bug leads to vulnerable edge cases. This     vulnerability affects Windows users of the Node.js Permission Model in version v22.x and v20.x Impact:
    Thank you, to tniessen for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it.

The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is prior to 18.20.2, 20.12.2, 21.7.3. It is, therefore, affected by a command injection vulnerability as referenced in the Wednesday, April 10, 2024 Security Releases advisory.  This is due to the improper handling of batch files in child_process.spawn / child_process.spawnSync, a malicious command line argument  can inject arbitrary commands and achieve code execution even if the shell option is not enabled.

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