Last modified

CVE-2024-22017 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.3/10 on the CVSS scale. setuid() does not affect libuv's internal io_uring operations if initialized before the call to setuid(). This allows the process to perform privileged operations despite presumably having dropped such privileges through a call to setuid(). This vulnerability affects all users using version greater or equal than Node.js 18.18.0, Node.js 20.4.0 and Node.js 21.. EPSS estimates a 0.89% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
