  - A flaw in Node.js HTTP client can cause a request desynchronization for Node.js-based forwarding proxies
    that rebuild outbound headers from the visible IncomingMessage headers while piping the original body to a
    reused backend connection. Node.js can omit headers beyond maxHeadersCount / maxHeaderPairs from
    req.headers, req.rawHeaders, and req.headersDistinct, while still using those omitted headers internally
    for HTTP message framing. In particular, Content-Length can be hidden from userland while the request body
    is still delivered. Impact: Thank you, to yushengchen for reporting this vulnerability and thank you
    mcollina for fixing it. (CVE-2026-58044)
