Published Jul 29, 2026 · Updated Oct 29, 2026

Ecosystem: AlmaLinux

Summary

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

Security Fix(es):

* brace-expansion: Brace-expansion: Denial of Service due to exponential-time complexity (CVE-2026-13149)
* tar: Node-tar: Denial of Service via malformed tar archive header (CVE-2026-59874)
* tar: node-tar: Denial of Service via crafted gzip bomb (CVE-2026-59873)
