  - With the aid of the diagnostics_channel utility, an event can be hooked into whenever a worker thread is
    created. This is not limited only to workers but also exposes internal workers, where an instance of them
    can be fetched, and its constructor can be grabbed and reinstated for malicious usage. This vulnerability
    affects Permission Model users (--permission) on Node.js v20, v22, and v23. (CVE-2025-23083)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
