CVE ID : CVE-2025-23084
Published : Jan. 28, 2025, 5:15 a.m. | 1 hour, 17 minutes ago
Description : A vulnerability has been identified in Node.js, specifically affecting the handling of drive names in the Windows environment. Certain Node.js functions do not treat drive names as special on Windows. As a result, although Node.js assumes a relative path, it actually refers to the root directory. On Windows, a path that does not start with the file separator is treated as relative to the current directory. This vulnerability affects Windows users of `path.join` API.
Severity: 5.6 | MEDIUM
