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-2025-55130 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- node (Bitnami): affected from 20.0.0; fixed in 20.20.0, 22.22.0, 24.13.0, 25.3.0\n- node-min (Bitnami): affected from 20.0.0; fixed in 20.20.0, 22.22.0, 24.13.0, 25.3.0\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-2025-55130/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-55130/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-55130","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-55130/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-55130","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2025-55130","AZL-74988","BELL-CVE-2025-55130","BIT-node-2025-55130","BIT-node-min-2025-55130","CLEANSTART-2026-TF09981","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-55130","GHSA-62wc-jj78-f4f6","MINI-5qqx-9hqf-9mf3","MINI-6pg6-fhw5-j696","MINI-7x89-p664-48m2","MINI-7xg6-h23c-h273","MINI-9j2m-r53p-vm3w","MINI-vcrq-2qcc-5gcc","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-55130"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Node.js runtime","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass Node.js permission restrictions using crafted symlinks to read or write arbitrary files outside allowed directories.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"node.js","vendor":"nodejs"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-281","name":"Improper Preservation of Permissions"},{"id":"CWE-289","name":"Authentication Bypass by Alternate Name"}],"description":"A flaw in Node.js’s Permissions model allows attackers to bypass `--allow-fs-read` and `--allow-fs-write` restrictions using crafted relative symlink paths.
