    Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable network applications in the
    JavaScript programming language.

    Security Fix(es):

    * ip-address: ip-address: Cross-site scripting via improper HTML escaping of untrusted input
    (CVE-2026-42338)

    * undici: undici: Denial of Service due to unbounded memory growth via WebSocket frames (CVE-2026-12151)

    * undici: Undici: Information disclosure due to improper cache-control header parsing (CVE-2026-9678)

    * undici: Undici: Response queue poisoning on reused keep-alive sockets can lead to incorrect response
    delivery. (CVE-2026-6733)

    (CVE-2026-11525)

    * undici: undici: Man-in-the-Middle attack via ignored TLS options with SOCKS5 proxy (CVE-2026-9697)

    * undici: undici: Information disclosure and data integrity issues due to incorrect Socks5ProxyAgent
    connection routing (CVE-2026-6734)

    * nodejs: Node.js: Denial of Service via unlimited HTTP/2 ORIGIN frames (CVE-2026-48619)

    * nodejs: Node.js: Silent authority rebinding due to embedded-nul hostnames in TLS handling
    (CVE-2026-48930)

    * nodejs: Node.js: Unauthorized file metadata modification (CVE-2026-48935)

    * nodejs: Node.js WebCrypto: Denial of Service via large input to subtle.encrypt() (CVE-2026-48933)

    * nodejs: Node.js: Certification validation bypass in TLS host verification (CVE-2026-48934)
