Excessive privileges In nodejs

Description

A flaw was found in Node.js, where the setuid() does not affect libuv's internal io_uring operations if initialized before the call to setuid(). This issue allows the process to perform privileged operations despite presumably having dropped such privileges through a call to setuid().

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
