It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-55132 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-2025-55132/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-55132/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-55132","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-55132/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-55132","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2025-55132","AZL-74982","BELL-CVE-2025-55132","BIT-node-2025-55132","BIT-node-min-2025-55132","CLEANSTART-2026-OM37971","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-55132","GHSA-pm9v-wcw9-xgpv","MINI-284v-3g9f-fr4j","MINI-69m2-fpgf-3c34","MINI-g8rf-7qgc-78x2","MINI-gqmm-qph8-qxrf","MINI-q87x-2q3v-r4cv","MINI-rc62-gfrp-32w2","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-55132"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Node.js runtime","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can modify file timestamps in read-only directories via futimes(), obscuring activity logs and bypassing permission model restrictions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"node.js","vendor":"nodejs"}],"cvss":{"score":2.8,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"A flaw in Node.js's permission model allows a file's access and modification timestamps to be changed via `futimes()` even when the process has only read permissions. Unlike `utimes()`, `futimes()` does not apply the expected write-permission checks, which means file metadata can be modified in read-only directories. This behavior could be used to alter timestamps in ways that obscure activity, reducing the reliability of logs.
