Vulnerability in node (CVE-2025-59465)
Summary
Vulnerability in node (CVE-2025-59465). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via HPACK. Mitigation: upgrade to 20.20.0, 22.22.0, 24.13.0, 25.3.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
A malformed HTTP/2 HEADERS frame with oversized, invalid HPACK data can cause Node.js to crash by triggering an unhandled TLSSocket error ECONNRESET. Instead of safely closing the connection, the process crashes, enabling a remote denial of service. This primarily affects applications that do not attach explicit error handlers to secure sockets, for example:
server.on('secureConnection', socket => {
socket.on('error', err => {
console.log(err)
})
})
