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-2023-38552 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- node (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 18.18.2, 20.8.1\n- node-min (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 18.18.2, 20.8.1\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-2023-38552/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38552/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-38552","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38552/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-38552","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2023-38552","AZL-31614","BELL-CVE-2023-38552","BIT-node-2023-38552","BIT-node-min-2023-38552","CLEANSTART-2026-MK88836","CLEANSTART-2026-XM95789","CLSA-2025-1761084810","CLSA-2026-1770216227","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-38552","GHSA-x39v-frq9-5hh8","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-38552"],"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 policy integrity checks by forging checksums, affecting users of the experimental policy feature.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"node.js","vendor":"nodejs"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-345","name":"Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity"}],"description":"When the Node.js policy feature checks the integrity of a resource against a trusted manifest, the application can intercept the operation and return a forged checksum to the node's policy implementation, thus effectively disabling the integrity check.\nImpacts:\nThis vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy mechanism in all active release lines: 18.x and, 20.x.\nPlease note that at the time this CVE was issued, the policy mechanism 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-2023-38552","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"fedoraproject:fedora","products":["fedoraproject:fedora","nodejs:node.js"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in SC7731E/SC9832E/SC9863A/T310/T606/T612/T616/T610/T618/T760/T770/T820/S8000","id":"CVE-2023-38553"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["18.18.2","20.8.1"],"introduced":["0","19.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"node","purl":"pkg:bitnami/node","source":"BIT-node-2023-38552"},{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["18.18.2","20.8.1"],"introduced":["0","19.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"node-min","purl":"pkg:bitnami/node-min","source":"BIT-node-min-2023-38552"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Connect Secure","id":"CVE-2023-38551"},"products":["Node"],"published":"2023-10-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"PHP-CGI OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2024-4577","kev_date_added":"2024-06-12","published":"2024-06-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Grafana Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2021-39226","kev_date_added":"2022-08-25","published":"2021-10-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware ESXi and Horizon DaaS OpenSLP Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2019-5544","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium V8 Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2024-4947","kev_date_added":"2024-05-20","published":"2024-05-15"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Visuals Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-4671","kev_date_added":"2024-05-13","published":"2024-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Mojo Insufficient Data Validation","id":"CVE-2022-3075","kev_date_added":"2022-09-08","published":"2022-09-26"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Google Chromium Indexed DB API Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2021-30633","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-08"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-11-03","vendors":["NodeJS"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass Node.js policy integrity checks by forging checksums, affecting users of the experimental policy feature.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38552/"}
