When the Node.js policy feature checks the integrity of a resource against
a trusted manifest, the application can intercept the operation and return
a forged checksum to the nodeโs policy implementation, thus effectively
disabling the integrity check. Impacts: This vulnerability affects all
users using the experimental policy mechanism in all active release lines:
18.x and, 20.x. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the
policy mechanism is an experimental feature of Node.js.
