CVE-2025-23166

7.5 highEPSS 0.8%

High (7.5). EPSS 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The C++ method SignTraits::DeriveBits() may incorrectly call ThrowException() based on user-supplied inputs when executing in a background thread, crashing the Node.js process. Such cryptographic operations are commonly applied to untrusted inputs. Thus, this mechanism potentially allows an adversary to remotely crash a Node.js runtime.
