Windows build: node.exe missing Control Flow Guard (CFG) and DYNAMICBASE mitigations

Version

24.16.0

Platform

error BA2008: 'node.exe' does not enable the control flow guard (CFG) mitigation.
To resolve this issue, pass /guard:cf on both the compiler and linker command lines. Binaries also require the /DYNAMICBASE linker option in order to enable CFG.
For VC projects use ItemDefinitionGroup - ClCompile - ControlFlowGuard property with 'Guard' value, link CFG property will be set automatically.

Subsystem

Windows11

What steps will reproduce the bug?

BinSkim.exe analyze C:\path\to\node.exe --config binskim_config_no_pdb.xml --kind Fail

binskim_config_no_pdb.xml is:

Additional information

There was already prior work on this topic see (#42100)

PR #42126 was closed in favor of https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/56605

However, #42126 also handled the missing /DYNAMICBASE flag, which was not addressed in the newer discussions. As a result, node.exe still lacks both CFG and DYNAMICBASE, and BinSkim continues to report BA2008 and BA2009.

Inizia riproducendo l’analisi BinSkim sul node.exe compilato utilizzando il binskim_config_no_pdb.xml fornito, quindi esamina la configurazione della build Windows per individuare le impostazioni di sicurezza del compilatore e del linker. Il lavoro è completato quando un node.exe ricompilato abilita CFG e DYNAMICBASE e non segnala più le regole BinSkim BA2008 e BA2009.
