CVE-2026-58043: A flaw in Node.js Permission Model enforcement can over-grant filesystem access across radix-tree prefix boundaries.
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 33/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.13% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: azl3 nodejs 24.17.0-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 24.18.1-1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to azl3 nodejs 24.17.0-1 on Azure Linux 3.0 24.18.1-1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A flaw in Node.js Permission Model enforcement can over-grant filesystem access across radix-tree prefix boundaries. Under `--permission`, an attacker who is granted access to one path can abuse boundary handling to read from or write to paths outside the intended filesystem allowlist. This vulnerability affects Node.js **main**, **22.x**, **24.x**, and **26.x**.
