Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-04 03:31 – Updated: 2026-08-04 03:31

Details

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.

This vulnerability affects all supported release lines: Node.js 22, Node.js 24, and Node.js 26.

Severity

3.7 (Low)
