Description Mauro Matteo Cascella 2023-08-10 10:04:22 UTC 
The use of module.constructor.createRequire() can bypass the policy mechanism and require modules outside of the policy.json definition for a given module. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the policy mechanism is an experimental feature of Node.js. This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy mechanism in all active release lines: 16.x, 18.x and, 20.x.
