Description
CVE-2026-123829 is an information disclosure vulnerability in Node.js affecting versions prior to 22.23.5, 24.22.3, and 26.13.1. It arises from a permission model bypass in the recursive file watching feature on macOS and Windows. The vulnerability allows code with read permission on a directory to learn the names and timing metadata of files and directories deeper in the hierarchy that it does not have permission to read. This does not expose file contents, only names and metadata. The flaw is due to the native libuv watcher forwarding filenames without verifying read permissions on each path beyond the root watched directory.
