A flaw in Node.js TLS hostname verification can cause a server certificate to be validated against a different IP address than the one the client connected to, when the host is a non-canonical IPv4 literal with a leading zero, such as . normalizes the host following the WHATWG URL rules, which read a leading-zero octet as octal ( becomes ), while the connection is made through the operating system resolver, which on some platforms such as macOS reads it as decimal ( ). A server at the connected address can then be authenticated with a certificate issued for another IP address. This vulnerability affects Node.js **26.x**, **24.x**, and **22.x**.
