How to fix?

Upgrade node to version 16.20.2, 18.17.1, 20.5.1 or higher.

Overview

node is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control through the usage of module.constructor.createRequire(), which allows an attacker to bypass the policy mechanism and require modules outside of the policy.json definition for a given module.

Note: This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy mechanism.
