# CVE-2026-58039: nodejs node vulnerability

**Signal:** Normal patch cycle. No exploitation signal; fix it in your next routine update if you are affected. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 0.2% , percentile 4: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.2% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 4% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs local access needed. Lower urgency for most teams unless an attacker could already run code on the machine.
- Editorial verdict: Patch this week. Node.js July 2026 Security Releases: HTTP/2 and 11 CVEs — Routine but real: upgrade every supported Node.js line this week, sooner if you terminate HTTP/2 in Node or rely on the Permission Model as a sandbox.

## What it is

A flaw in Node.js Permission Model enforcement allows process.report writes (and overwrites) files outside --allow-fs-write paths. This can lead to confidentiality impact or bypass of the intended security boundary under affected configurations. This vulnerability affects Node.js 22.x, 24.x, and 26.x.

## Affected products (CVE record)

- nodejs node: 26.5.0 <= 26.5.0, 24.18.0 <= 24.18.0, 22.23.1 <= 22.23.1

## Severity

- hackerone CVSS 3.0: 3.3 `CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable no , technical impact partial .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 0.15% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 4.
