No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14849/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14849/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-14849","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14849/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-14849","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c5w2-4jcq-rvf5"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"node.js","vendor":"nodejs"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Node.js 8.5.0 before 8.6.0 allows remote attackers to access unintended files, because a change to \"..\" handling was incompatible with the pathname validation used by unspecified community modules.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-10-08","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2026-10-08T20:15:06Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/CyberCTF/vulhub-node-cve-2017-14849","stars":0,"title":"Vulhub node/CVE-2017-14849: Node.js 8.5.0 Path Traversal (CVE-2017-14849), run with Isoloom"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2017/CVE-2017-14849.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Node.js \u003c8.6.0 - Directory Traversal"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Node.js 8.5.0 before 8.6.0 allows remote attackers to access unintended files, because a change to \"..\" handling was incompatible with the p","id":"CVE-2017-14849","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"nodejs:node.js","products":["nodejs:node.js"],"type":null,"year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-14850"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-14848"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-09-28","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Node","id":"CVE-2023-32002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-16"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Node.js","id":"CVE-2017-15896","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in Node.js","id":"CVE-2018-7160","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Misconfiguration in Node.js","id":"CVE-2018-12120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-28"},{"cvss_score":7.9,"headline":"Path traversal in Node","id":"CVE-2024-21891","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-20"},{"cvss_score":7.9,"headline":"Path traversal in Node","id":"CVE-2024-21896","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-20"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14849/"}
