It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-21892 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- node (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 18.19.1, 20.11.1, 21.6.2\n- node-min (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 18.19.1, 20.11.1, 21.6.2\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-2024-21892/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21892/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-21892","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21892/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-21892","record":{"aliases":["AZL-34460","AZL-35052","BELL-CVE-2024-21892","BIT-node-2024-21892","BIT-node-min-2024-21892","CLEANSTART-2026-PN59834","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-21892","GHSA-f27j-4f6g-jp27"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Node.js runtime","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unprivileged users can inject code that inherits elevated privileges due to incorrect capability handling in Node.js on Linux.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"node.js","vendor":"nodejs"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"},{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"On Linux, Node.js ignores certain environment variables if those may have been set by an unprivileged user while the process is running with elevated privileges with the only exception of CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE.\nDue to a bug in the implementation of this exception, Node.js incorrectly applies this exception even when certain other capabilities have been set.\nThis allows unprivileged users to inject code that inherits the process's elevated privileges.","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":"Privilege escalation in Node","id":"CVE-2024-21892","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"nodejs:node.js","products":["nodejs:node.js"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Ivanti Connect Secure, Policy Secure, and Neurons Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2024-21893"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["18.19.1","20.11.1","21.6.2"],"introduced":["0","19.0.0","21.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"node","purl":"pkg:bitnami/node","source":"BIT-node-2024-21892"},{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["18.19.1","20.11.1","21.6.2"],"introduced":["0","19.0.0","21.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"node-min","purl":"pkg:bitnami/node-min","source":"BIT-node-min-2024-21892"}],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in Node","id":"CVE-2024-21891"},"products":["Node"],"published":"2024-02-20","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":"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-30","vendors":["NodeJS"]},"summary":"Unprivileged users can inject code that inherits elevated privileges due to incorrect capability handling in Node.js on Linux.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-21892/"}
