CVE-2026-58044
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
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**.

"value": "Una falla en el cliente HTTP de Node.js puede causar una desincronización de solicitudes para proxies de reenvío basados en Node.js que reconstruyen los encabezados salientes a partir de los encabezados visibles de ’IncomingMessage’ mientras canalizan el cuerpo original a una conexión de backend reutilizada.\n\nNode.js puede omitir encabezados más allá de ’maxHeadersCount’ / ’maxHeaderPairs’ de ’req.headers’, ’req.rawHeaders’ y ’req.headersDistinct’, mientras sigue utilizando esos encabezados omitidos internamente para el encuadre de mensajes HTTP. En particular, ’Content-Length’ puede ocultarse de userland mientras el cuerpo de la solicitud aún se entrega.\n\nEsta vulnerabilidad afecta a todas las líneas de lanzamiento compatibles: Node.js 22, Node.js 24 y Node.js 26."
