| 10 | +## Security releases available |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Updates are now available for the 26.x, 24.x, 22.x Node.js release lines for the |
| 13 | +following issues. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +This security release includes the following dependency updates to address public vulnerabilities: |
| 16 | + |

| 19 | + |
| 20 | +## HTTP/2 retained headers can bypass `maxSessionMemory` limits (CVE-2026-56846) - (High) |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +A flaw in Node.js HTTP/2 handling can let retained header blocks evade `maxSessionMemory` |
| 23 | +limits and cause remote memory exhaustion. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Impact: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +- This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 24.x, 22.x |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Thank you, to leduckhuong for reporting this vulnerability and thank you mcollina for fixing it. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## HTTP/2 re-entrant send can cause heap-use-after-free (CVE-2026-56848) - (High) |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +A flaw in Node.js HTTP/2 handling allows `nghttp2_session_mem_send()` to be called re-entrantly while `nghttp2_session_mem_recv()` is executing, resulting in a heap-use-after-free. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Impact: |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +- This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 26.x, 24.x, 22.x |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Thank you, to hahahkim for reporting this vulnerability and thank you mcollina for fixing it. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Permission Model path matching can over-grant filesystem access (CVE-2026-58043) - (High) |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +A flaw in Node.js Permission Model enforcement can over-grant filesystem access across radix-tree prefix boundaries. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Under `--permission`, an attacker who is granted access to one path can abuse |
| 46 | +radix-tree prefix boundary handling to read from or write to paths outside the |
| 47 | +intended filesystem allowlist. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Impact: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 22.x, 24.x, 26.x |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +Thank you, to sy2n0 for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +## HTTPS Agent can reuse mTLS identities across PFX certificates (CVE-2026-56850) - (Medium) |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +A flaw in Node.js HTTPS Agent connection reuse can cause PFX object-array key collisions, allowing mutual TLS (mTLS) client identities to be reused across requests configured with different client certificates. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +Impact: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +- This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 26.x, 24.x, 22.x |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Thank you, to yottt for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## HTTPS Agent session reuse can skip hostname verification (CVE-2026-58040) - (Medium) |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +An incomplete fix for CVE-2026-48934 has been identified in Node.js. HTTPS Agent |
| 68 | +TLS session reuse can skip hostname verification across identity policies. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Impact: |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +- This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 26.x, 24.x, 22.x |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Thank you, to vnyuh for reporting this vulnerability and thank you mcollina for fixing it. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +## `node:sqlite` SQLTagStore iterator replay can re-execute writes (CVE-2026-58041) - (Medium) |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +A flaw in `node:sqlite` allows a stale `StatementSyncIterator` created through |
| 79 | +`DatabaseSync#createTagStore()` to continue executing a cached prepared statement |
| 80 | +after it has been reset and rebound with new parameters. `SQLTagStore` resets |
| 81 | +cached statements using `sqlite3_reset()` directly, bypassing the iterator |
| 82 | +invalidation mechanism introduced for `StatementSync` in recent releases. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +Impact: |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +- This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 26.x, 24.x |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +Thank you, to cantina-security for reporting this vulnerability and thank you mcollina for fixing it. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +## `dns.resolveAny()` can abort on DNS responses with many A records (CVE-2026-58042) - (Medium) |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +A flaw in Node.js can cause `dns.resolveAny()` to abort the process when a DNS |
| 93 | +response contains more than 256 A records. |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +Repeated triggering of this condition can lead to denial of service. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +Impact: |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +- This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 26.x, 24.x, 22.x |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Thank you, to cantina-security for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +## `node:zlib` sync APIs can crash on spoofed `TypedArray` length (CVE-2026-58045) - (Medium) |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +A flaw in Node.js allows a spoofed `TypedArray` `byteLength` to trigger a reachable assertion in the synchronous `node:zlib` APIs, causing the process to crash. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +Repeated exploitation of this condition can result in a denial of service. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +Impact: |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +- This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 26.x, 24.x, 22.x |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +Thank you, to byvini for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +## Permission Model allows trace events to write outside the allowlist (CVE-2026-56847) - (Low) |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +A flaw in Node.js Permission Model enforcement allows |
| 118 | +`trace_events.createTracing().enable()` to write trace logs outside |
| 119 | +`--allow-fs-write` paths. |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +This can lead to confidentiality impact or bypass of the intended security boundary under affected configurations. |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +Impact: |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +- This vulnerability affects all users of the Permission Model in active release lines: 26.x, 24.x, 22.x |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +Thank you, to 0xoroot for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +## Permission Model allows process reports to write outside the allowlist (CVE-2026-58039) - (Low) |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +A flaw in Node.js Permission Model enforcement allows `process.report` to write |
| 132 | +and overwrite files outside `--allow-fs-write` paths. |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +This can lead to confidentiality impact or bypass of the intended security boundary under affected configurations. |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +Impact: |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +- This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 26.x, 24.x, 22.x |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +Thank you, to sinan-polat for reporting this vulnerability and thank you RafaelGSS for fixing it. |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +## HTTP parser header truncation can enable request smuggling (CVE-2026-58044) - (Low) |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +A flaw in Node.js HTTP client can cause a request desynchronization for Node.js-based forwarding proxies that rebuild outbound headers from the visible `IncomingMessage` headers while piping the original body to a reused backend connection. |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +Node.js can omit headers beyond `maxHeadersCount` / `maxHeaderPairs` from `req.headers`, `req.rawHeaders`, and `req.headersDistinct`, while still using those omitted headers internally for HTTP message framing. In particular, `Content-Length` can be hidden from userland while the request body is still delivered. |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +Impact: |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +- This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 26.x, 24.x, 22.x |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +Thank you, to yushengchen for reporting this vulnerability and thank you mcollina for fixing it. |
