  - A flaw in Node.js TLS hostname handling can cause Node.js unicode dot separator handling can lead to tls
    wildcard-depth authentication bypass due to resolver and verifier hostname normalization mismat. This can
    lead to confidentiality impact or bypass of the intended security boundary under affected configurations.
    This vulnerability affects all supported release lines: **Node.js 22**, **Node.js 24**, and **Node.js
    26**. (CVE-2026-48618)

  - A flaw in Node.js HTTP/2 client allows a server to send an unlimited number of ORIGIN frames, which could
    lead to an Out of Memory error on the client. This vulnerability affects all supported release lines:
    **Node.js 22**, **Node.js 24**, and **Node.js 26**. (CVE-2026-48619)

  - A inconsistency in Node.js hostname matching can cause a trust-policy bypass in multi-context mTLS setups.
    This vulnerability affects all supported release lines: **Node.js 22**, **Node.js 24**, and **Node.js
    26**. (CVE-2026-48928)

  - A flaw in Node.js TLS hostname handling can cause Embedded-nul hostnames can lead to silent authority
    rebinding due to c-string truncation in resolver bindings. This vulnerability affects all supported
    release lines: **Node.js 22**, **Node.js 24**, and **Node.js 26**. (CVE-2026-48930)
