Chownr is a utility for recursively changing file and directory ownership in Node.js environments, and its vulnerability profile centers on a specific class of file-system race conditions. The observed exposure recurs through time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race-condition weaknesses, a structural hazard inherent to operations that inspect and then modify file metadata across asynchronous or concurrent execution contexts. Current severity, exploitation, and exposure counts are shown alongside this summary.
