| A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the experimental
| policy mechanism in all active release lines: 16.x, 18.x and, 20.x.
| The use of the deprecated API `process.binding()` can bypass the
| policy mechanism by requiring internal modules and eventually take
| advantage of `process.binding('spawn_sync')` run arbitrary code,
| outside of the limits defined in a `policy.json` file. Please note
| that at the time this CVE was issued, the policy is an experimental
| feature of Node.js.
