Node.Js · Node.Js · CVE-2026-21637
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Node.js versions (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A flaw in Node.js TLS error handling can allow remote attackers to crash or exhaust resources of a TLS server when `pskCallback` or `ALPNCallback` are in use. Synchronous exceptions thrown during these callbacks bypass standard TLS error handling paths, potentially leading to denial of service. Because these callbacks process attacker-controlled input during the TLS handshake, a remote client can repeatedly trigger the issue. The issue is related to incorrect cleanup or release of resources within the `pskCallback()` and `ALPNCallback()` functions.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
