Description
A cryptographic vulnerability exists on Node.js on linux in versions of 18.x prior to 18.40.0 which allowed a default path for openssl.cnf that might be accessible under some circumstances to a non-admin user instead of /etc/ssl as was the case in versions prior to the upgrade to OpenSSL 3.
A vulnerability was found in NodeJS. The issue occurs when Node.js starts on Linux based systems and attempts to read /home/iojs/build/ws/out/Release/obj.target/deps/openssl/openssl.cnf, which ordinarily does not exist. This flaw allows an attacker on some shared systems to create this file and affect the default OpenSSL configuration for other users.
