Oh my! It might take some programmer skills to know if that's safe. The latest 0.8 node.js is probably safe to replace it with. Maybe the latest 0.10, but if they used binary (DLL/.node) addons, probably not. However -- it may well be that you don't need this software at all to run your internet connection -- Vendor supplied software by ISPs is almost universally terrible and not needed. (I was a network tech and ISP owner in the past... I've seen some things.) I'd start by seeing if you can remove it entirely.
