Important: nodejs24 security update

Published Apr 15, 2026 · Updated Apr 15, 2026

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.

* nghttp2: nghttp2: Denial of Service via malformed HTTP/2 frames after session termination (CVE-2026-27135)

* Node.js: Node.js: Denial of Service via malformed Internationalized Domain Name processing (CVE-2026-21712)

* Node.js: Node.js: Denial of Service due to crafted HTTP `__proto__` header (CVE-2026-21710)

* Node.js: Node.js: Information disclosure due to `fs.realpathSync.native()` bypassing filesystem read restrictions (CVE-2026-21715)

* nodejs: Node.js: Permission bypass allows unauthorized modification of file permissions and ownership via incomplete security fix. (CVE-2026-21716)

* Node.js: Node.js: Unauthorized inter-process communication due to missing Unix Domain Socket permission checks (CVE-2026-21711)

* Node.js: Node.js: Information disclosure via timing oracle in HMAC verification (CVE-2026-21713)

* Node.js: Node.js: Memory leak and Denial of Service via crafted HTTP/2 WINDOW_UPDATE frames (CVE-2026-21714)

* nodejs: v8: Node.js: Denial of Service via V8 string hashing mechanism due to predictable hash collisions (CVE-2026-21717)
