Node.js TLS Host Verification Bypass in Certification Validation
CVE-2026-48934 Published on June 26, 2026
A flaw in Node.js TLS host verification can cause an attacker to bypass certification validation. This vulnerability affects all supported release lines: **Node.js 22**, **Node.js 24**, and **Node.js 26**.
Weakness Type
Improper Certificate Validation
The software does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate. When a certificate is invalid or malicious, it might allow an attacker to spoof a trusted entity by interfering in the communication path between the host and client. The software might connect to a malicious host while believing it is a trusted host, or the software might be deceived into accepting spoofed data that appears to originate from a trusted host.

nodejs node:- Version 22.22.3, <= 22.22.3 is affected.
- Version 24.16.0, <= 24.16.0 is affected.
