Vulnerability in node-min (CVE-2025-55130)
Summary
Vulnerability in node-min (CVE-2025-55130). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Mitigation: upgrade to 20.20.0, 22.22.0, 24.13.0, 25.3.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A flaw in Node.js’s Permissions model allows attackers to bypass --allow-fs-read and --allow-fs-write restrictions using crafted relative symlink paths. By chaining directories and symlinks, a script granted access only to the current directory can escape the allowed path and read sensitive files. This breaks the expected isolation guarantees and enables arbitrary file read/write, leading to potential system compromise.
This vulnerability affects users of the permission model on Node.js v20, v22, v24, and v25.
