Critical Node.js Vulnerability Can Cause Server Crashes via Stack Overflow

Node.js has released updates addressing a critical vulnerability affecting the majority of production applications. This flaw allows attackers to trigger a denial-of-service (DoS) via a stack overflow in the async_hooks module. Normally, Node.js's V8 engine attempts to recover from stack space exhaustion with a catchable error, a feature that frameworks rely on to maintain service availability. No additional technical details or CVE number have been disclosed. The impact includes a risk of Node.js server crashes.
