A security warning issued for Node.js has received an update from the BSI. You can read a description of the security gaps including the latest updates as well as information about the affected operating systems Linux, MacOS X and Windows and products here.
The Federal Office for Security in Information Technology (BSI) published an update on May 1st, 2024 to a security hole with several vulnerabilities for Node.js that became known on February 14th, 2024. The security vulnerability affects the operating systems Linux, MacOS Linux, IBM App Connect Enterprise, open source Node.js and IBM DataPower Gateway.
The latest manufacturer recommendations regarding updates, workarounds and security patches for this vulnerability can be found here: Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2024:2651 (As of May 2, 2024). Other useful resources are listed later in this article.
Multiple vulnerabilities for Node.js – Risk: High
Risk level: 5 (high)
CVSS Base Score: 9,8
CVSS Temporal Score: 8,5
Remoteangriff: Ja
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is used to assess the vulnerability of computer systems. The CVSS standard makes it possible to compare potential or actual security vulnerabilities based on various metrics in order to create a priority list for taking countermeasures. The attributes “none”, “low”, “medium”, “high” and “critical” are used to determine the severity levels of a vulnerability. The Base Score evaluates the requirements for an attack (including authentication, complexity, privileges, user interaction) and its consequences. With the temporal score, framework conditions that can change over time are taken into account in the evaluation. According to the CVSS, the severity of the current vulnerability is rated as “high” with a base score of 9.8.
Node.js Bug: Effects of exploiting known vulnerabilities
Node.js is a platform for developing network applications.
A remote, anonymous attacker could exploit multiple vulnerabilities in Node.js to execute arbitrary code, bypass security measures, cause a denial of service, disclose sensitive information, manipulate files, or escalate privileges.
The vulnerabilities were classified by individual serial numbers using the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) referencing system CVE-2023-46809, CVE-2024-21890, CVE-2024-21891, CVE-2024-21892, CVE-2024-21896, CVE-2024-22017, CVE-2024-22019, CVE-2024-22025, CVE-2024-24758 und CVE-2024-24806.

General measures for dealing with IT security gaps
Users of the affected systems should keep them up to date. When security gaps become known, manufacturers are required to fix them as quickly as possible by developing a patch or a workaround. If security patches are available, install them promptly. For information, consult the sources listed in the next section. These often contain further information about the latest version of the software in question as well as the availability of security patches or information about workarounds. If you have any further questions or uncertainties, please contact your responsible administrator. IT security managers should regularly check the sources mentioned to see whether a new security update is available.
