ETK-2026-2724Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
node-forge versions before 1.4.1 can recursively process received TLS records until the JavaScript call stack is exhausted. An unauthenticated peer can terminate a Node.js application using node-forge TLS; exposure requires accepting a peer connection or connecting to an untrusted TLS server.
mitigation
Upgrade node-forge to version 1.4.1 or later. Until upgraded, handle failures from TLS record processing and immediately close the affected connection and its underlying socket.
fixed in 1.4.1
outcome
No artifact: an exploit or check was attempted but could not be produced at this moment.
