An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-23919 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- node (Bitnami): affected from 14.0.0; fixed in 14.21.3, 16.19.1, 18.14.1, 19.2.0\n- node-min (Bitnami): affected from 14.0.0; fixed in 14.21.3, 16.19.1, 18.14.1, 19.2.0\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-2023-23919/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23919/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-23919","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23919/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-23919","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2023-23919","AZL-13684","BIT-node-2023-23919","BIT-node-min-2023-23919","CLEANSTART-2026-BC88779","CLEANSTART-2026-SS08335","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-23919","GHSA-mfq6-mjjx-mp7f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Node.js runtime","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service in Node.js by triggering false positive errors in cryptographic operations due to uncleared OpenSSL error stacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"node.js","vendor":"nodejs"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-310","name":null}],"description":"A cryptographic vulnerability exists in Node.js \u003c19.2.0, \u003c18.14.1, \u003c16.19.1, \u003c14.21.3 that in some cases did does not clear the OpenSSL error stack after operations that may set it.
