5Description
An incomplete fix for CVE-2024-36137 leaves `FileHandle.chmod()` and `FileHandle.chown()` in the promises API without the required permission checks, while their callback-based equivalents (`fs.fchmod()`, `fs.fchown()`) were correctly patched. As a result, code running under `--permission` with restricted `--allow-fs-write` can still use promise-based `FileHandle` methods to modify file permissions and ownership on already-open file descriptors, bypassing the intended write restrictions. This vulnerability affects **20.x, 22.x, 24.x, and 25.x** processes using the Permission Model where `--allow-fs-write` is intentionally restricted.
Analysis
Node.js Permission Model bypass in FileHandle.chmod() and FileHandle.chown() promise-based methods allows local authenticated users with restricted --allow-fs-write to modify file permissions and ownership on already-open file descriptors, circumventing intended write restrictions. The vulnerability affects Node.js 20.x, 22.x, 24.x, and 25.x when running under the --permission flag; the callback-based equivalents (fs.fchmod, fs.fchown) were correctly patched in CVE-2024-36137, but the promises API was incompletely fixed. …
