A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js, specifically affecting the handling of drive names in the Windows environment. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Command injection via Windows CreateProcess argument parsing affects multiple language runtimes and tooling (Node.js, PHP, Rust, Haskell process library, yt-dlp) that wrap the API without compensating for its quirks. Remote attackers can smuggle additional commands through arguments passed to child processes when applications spawn batch files or otherwise rely on CreateProcess's implicit cmd.exe handling. Publicly available exploit code exists and EPSS of 7.09% (92nd percentile) signals elevated, though not confirmed in-the-wild, exploitation interest; this CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
