node --run aborts on filesystem errors #67269

Version

v28.0.0-pre

Platform

Darwin 25.6.0 arm64

Subsystem

fs

What steps will reproduce the bug?

1. A node_modules directory in the project (or any parent) that cannot be read:

mkdir -p proj && cd proj
echo '{"scripts":{"hi":"echo hi"}}' > package.json
mkdir node_modules && chmod 000 node_modules
node --run hi

2. The current working directory has been removed:

mkdir gone && cd gone && rmdir ../gone
node --run hi

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

1. The unreadable node_modules/.bin is skipped and the script runs, as it does when node_modules has no .bin.
2. A regular error message and exit code 1, like the existing Can't find package.json error.

What do you see instead?

The process aborts with exit code 134:

libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type std::__1::__fs::filesystem::filesystem_error: filesystem error: in posix_stat: failed to determine attributes for the specified path: Permission denied [".../proj/node_modules/.bin"]

libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type std::__1::__fs::filesystem::filesystem_error: filesystem error: in current_path: call to getcwd failed: No such file or directory
