Various node:fs functions allow specifying paths as either strings or
Uint8Array objects. In Node.js environments, the Buffer class extends
the Uint8Array class. Node.js prevents path traversal through strings
(see CVE-2023-30584) and Buffer objects (see CVE-2023-32004), but not
through non-Buffer Uint8Array objects. This is distinct from
CVE-2023-32004 which only referred to Buffer objects. However, the
vulnerability follows the same pattern using Uint8Array instead of
Buffer. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the permission
model is an experimental feature of Node.js.
