CVE-2026-58043 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw in Node.js Permission Model enforcement can over-grant filesystem access across radix-tree prefix boundaries. Under `--permission`, an attacker who is granted access to one path can abuse boundary handling to read from or write to paths outside the intended filesystem allowlist. This vulnerability affects Node.js **main**, **22.x**, **24.x**, and **26.x**.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
