Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:
- A flaw in Node.js TLS hostname verification can cause a server certificate to be validated against a
different IP address than the one the client connected to, when the host is a non-canonical IPv4 literal
with a leading zero, such as `0127.0.0.1`. `tls.checkServerIdentity()` normalizes the host following the
WHATWG URL rules, which read a leading-zero octet as octal (`0127.0.0.1` becomes `87.0.0.1`), while the
connection is made through the operating system resolver, which on some platforms such as macOS reads it
as decimal (`127.0.0.1`). A server at the connected address can then be authenticated with a certificate
issued for another IP address. This vulnerability affects Node.js **26.x**, **24.x**, and **22.x**.
(CVE-2026-106069)
Solution
Update the nodejs-22 library and its related packages to version 22.23.4-r0 or later.
