### Summary Use of raw file descriptors in `op_node_ipc_pipe()` leads to premature close of arbitrary file descriptors, allowing standard input to be re-opened as a different resource resulting in permission prompt bypass. ### Details Node child_process IPC relies on the JS side to pass the raw IPC file descriptor to `op_node_ipc_pipe()`, which returns a `IpcJsonStreamResource` ID associated with the file descriptor. On closing the resource, the raw file descriptor is closed together. Although closing a file descriptor is seemingly a harmless task, this has been known to be exploitable: - With `--allow-read` and `--allow-write` permissions, one can open `/dev/ptmx` as stdin. This device happily accepts TTY ioctls and pipes anything written into it back to the reader. - This has been presented in a hacking competition (WACON 2023 Quals "dino jail"). - However, the precondition of this challenge was heavily contrived: fd 0 has manually been closed by FFI and `setuid()` was used...
