nodejs: reading unprocessed HTTP request with unbounded chunk extension allows DoS attacks (CVE-2024-22019)
nodejs: code injection and privilege escalation through Linux capabilities (CVE-2024-21892)
nodejs: path traversal by monkey-patching buffer internals (CVE-2024-21896)
nodejs: multiple permission model bypasses due to improper path traversal sequence sanitization (CVE-2024-21891)
nodejs: improper handling of wildcards in --allow-fs-read and --allow-fs-write (CVE-2024-21890)
nodejs: setuid() does not drop all privileges due to io_uring (CVE-2024-22017)
