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-2023-32002 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- node (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 16.20.2, 18.17.1, 20.5.1\n- node-min (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 16.20.2, 18.17.1, 20.5.1\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-2023-32002/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-32002/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-32002","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-32002/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-32002","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2023-32002","AZL-27940","AZL-27942","BIT-node-2023-32002","BIT-node-min-2023-32002","CLEANSTART-2026-JH69025","CLEANSTART-2026-SI18648","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-32002","GHSA-9m48-r3w4-x35v","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-32002"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Node.js runtime","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass Node.js experimental policy restrictions using Module._load to load unauthorized modules, affecting users of this experimental feature.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"node.js","vendor":"nodejs"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-288","name":"Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel"}],"description":"The use of `Module._load()` can bypass the policy mechanism and require modules outside of the policy.json definition for a given module.\n\nThis vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy mechanism in all active release lines: 16.x, 18.x and, 20.x.\n\nPlease note that at the time this CVE was issued, the policy is an experimental feature of Node.js.","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Node","id":"CVE-2023-32002","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"nodejs:node.js","products":["nodejs:node.js"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in Node","id":"CVE-2023-32003"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["16.20.2","18.17.1","20.5.1"],"introduced":["0","17.0.0","19.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"node","purl":"pkg:bitnami/node","source":"BIT-node-2023-32002"},{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["16.20.2","18.17.1","20.5.1"],"introduced":["0","17.0.0","19.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"node-min","purl":"pkg:bitnami/node-min","source":"BIT-node-min-2023-32002"}],"prev":{"headline":"We issued this CVE pre-maturely, as we have subsequently realized that this issue points out a problem that there really is no safe measures","id":"CVE-2023-32001"},"products":["Node"],"published":"2023-08-21","related":[{"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":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-02","vendors":["NodeJS"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass Node.js experimental policy restrictions using Module._load to load unauthorized modules, affecting users of this experimental feature.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-32002/"}
