Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:
- A flaw in Node.js DNS resolution allows hostnames containing a NUL byte to be silently truncated by the
dns.resolve*() functions and dns.reverse(). This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2026-48930, which only
covered dns.lookup() and the net/tls host options. Because the name is passed to c-ares as a C string,
resolving attacker.example\0.trusted.example queries attacker.example and returns its records without any
error. Applications that validate a hostname, for example against a domain allowlist, and then resolve it
with dns.resolve*() can act on records for a different name than the one they validated. This
vulnerability affects Node.js 26.x, 24.x, and 22.x. (CVE-2026-105482)
Solution
Update the nodejs-22 library and its related packages to version 22.23.4-r0 or later.
