CVE-2023-32005

Summary

CVE-2023-32005 is a vulnerability affecting Node.js version 20, specifically users of the experimental permission model when the --allow-fs-read flag is used with a non-* argument. This issue arises due to an inadequate permission model that fails to restrict file stats through the `fs.statfs` API, enabling malicious actors to retrieve stats from files they don't have explicit read access to. This vulnerability poses a risk to all users employing the experimental permission model in Node.js version 20. It is important to note that the permission model in question is currently experimental within Node.js.
