Original NVD Description

A flaw in Node.js Permission Model network enforcement leaves Unix Domain Socket (UDS) server operations without the required permission checks, while all comparable network paths correctly enforce them. As a result, code running under `--permission` without `--allow-net` can create and expose local IPC endpoints, allowing communication with other processes on the same host outside of the intended network restriction boundary. This vulnerability affects Node.js **25.x** processes using the Permission Model where `--allow-net` is intentionally omitted to restrict network access. Note that `--allow-net` is currently an experimental feature.
