An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-30588 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- node (Bitnami): affected from 16.0.0; fixed in 16.20.1, 18.16.1, 20.3.1\n- node-min (Bitnami): affected from 16.0.0; fixed in 16.20.1, 18.16.1, 20.3.1\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-2023-30588/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-30588/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-30588","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-30588/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-30588","record":{"aliases":["BIT-node-2023-30588","BIT-node-min-2023-30588","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-30588","GHSA-g526-x7vj-cfv6"],"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":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by providing an invalid public key to the X509Certificate API, forcing the Node.js process to terminate unexpectedly.","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":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"When an invalid public key is used to create an x509 certificate using the crypto.X509Certificate() API a non-expect termination occurs making it susceptible to DoS attacks when the attacker could force interruptions of application processing, as the process terminates when accessing public key info of provided certificates from user code.
