fetch (experimental):
An experimental fetch API is available on the global scope by default.
The implementation is based upon https://undici.nodejs.org/#/,
an HTTP/1.1 client written for Node.js by contributors to the project.
Through this addition, the following globals are made available: `fetch`
, `FormData`, `Headers`, `Request`, `Response`.
Disable this API with the `--no-experimental-fetch` command-line flag.
Contributed by Michaël Zasso in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/41811.
HTTP Timeouts:
`server.headersTimeout`, which limits the amount of time the parser will
wait to receive the complete HTTP headers, is now set to `60000` (60
seconds) by default.
`server.requestTimeout`, which sets the timeout value in milliseconds
for receiving the entire request from the client, is now set to `300000`
(5 minutes) by default.
If these timeouts expire, the server responds with status 408 without
forwarding the request to the request listener and then closes the
connection.
Both timeouts must be set to a non-zero value to protect against
potential Denial-of-Service attacks in case the server is deployed
without a reverse proxy in front.
Contributed by Paolo Insogna in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/41263.
Test Runner module (experimental):
The `node:test` module facilitates the creation of JavaScript tests that
report results in TAP format. This module is only available under the
`node:` scheme.
Contributed by Colin Ihrig in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42325.
Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades:
- Prebuilt binaries for Linux are now built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(RHEL) 8 and are compatible with Linux distributions based on glibc
2.28 or later, for example, Debian 10, RHEL 8, Ubuntu 20.04.
- Prebuilt binaries for macOS now require macOS 10.15 or later.
- For AIX the minimum supported architecture has been raised from Power
7 to Power 8.
Prebuilt binaries for 32-bit Windows will initially not be available due
to issues building the V8 dependency in Node.js. We hope to restore
32-bit Windows binaries for Node.js 18 with a future V8 update.
Node.js does not support running on operating systems that are no longer
supported by their vendor. For operating systems where their vendor has
planned to end support earlier than April 2025, such as Windows 8.1
(January 2023) and Windows Server 2012 R2 (October 2023), support for
Node.js 18 will end at the earlier date.
Full details about the supported toolchains and compilers are documented
in the Node.js `BUILDING.md` file.

https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42666.
V8 10.1:
The V8 engine is updated to version 10.1, which is part of Chromium 101.
Compared to the version included in Node.js 17.9.0, the following new
features are included:
- The `findLast` and `findLastIndex` array methods.
- Improvements to the `Intl.Locale` API.
- The `Intl.supportedValuesOf` function.
- Improved performance of class fields and private class methods (the
initialization of them is now as fast as ordinary property stores).
The data format returned by the serialization API (`v8.serialize(value)`)
has changed, and cannot be deserialized by earlier versions of Node.js.
On the other hand, it is still possible to deserialize the previous
format, as the API is backwards-compatible.
Contributed by Michaël Zasso in https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42657.
Web Streams API (experimental):
Node.js now exposes the experimental implementation of the Web Streams
API on the global scope. This means the following APIs are now globally
available:
- `ReadableStream`, `ReadableStreamDefaultReader`,
`ReadableStreamBYOBReader`, `ReadableStreamBYOBRequest`,
`ReadableByteStreamController`, `ReadableStreamDefaultController`,
`TransformStream`, `TransformStreamDefaultController`, `WritableStream`,
`WritableStreamDefaultWriter`, `WritableStreamDefaultController`,
`ByteLengthQueuingStrategy`, `CountQueuingStrategy`, `TextEncoderStream`,
`TextDecoderStream`, `CompressionStream`, `DecompressionStream`.

PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42262
Notable changes:
This is planned to be the final Node.js 12 release. Node.js 12 will
reach End-of-Life status on 30 April 2022, after which it will no
receive updates. You are strongly advised to migrate your applications
to Node.js 16 or 14 (both of which are Long Term Support (LTS) releases)
to continue to receive future security updates beyond 30 April 2022.
This release fixes a shutdown crash in Node-API (formerly N-API) and a
potential stack overflow when using `vm.runInNewContext()`.
The list of GPG keys used to sign releases and instructions on how to
fetch the keys for verifying binaries has been synchronized with the
main branch.

Notable changes:
Fixed regression in url.resolve()
This release fixes an issue introduced in Node.js v17.7.0 with some URLs
that contain `@`. This issue affected yarn 1. This version reverts the
change that introduced the regression.
PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/42285
Notable changes:
Corepack:
Node.js now includes Corepack, a script that acts as a bridge between
Node.js projects and the package managers they are intended to be used
with during development.
In practical terms, Corepack will let you use Yarn and pnpm without
having to install them - just like what currently happens with npm,
which is shipped in Node.js by default.

This is a security release.
Notable changes:
Improper handling of URI Subject Alternative Names (Medium)(CVE-2021-44531)
- Accepting arbitrary Subject Alternative Name (SAN) types, unless a PKI
is specifically defined to use a particular SAN type, can result in
bypassing name-constrained intermediates. Node.js was accepting URI SAN
types, which PKIs are often not defined to use. Additionally, when a
protocol allows URI SANs, Node.js did not match the URI correctly.
- Versions of Node.js with the fix for this disable the URI SAN type when
checking a certificate against a hostname. This behavior can be
reverted through the `--security-revert` command-line option.
- More details will be available at
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44531
Certificate Verification Bypass via String Injection (Medium)(CVE-2021-44532)
- Node.js converts SANs (Subject Alternative Names) to a string format.
It uses this string to check peer certificates against hostnames when
validating connections. The string format was subject to an injection
vulnerability when name constraints were used within a certificate
chain, allowing the bypass of these name constraints.
- Versions of Node.js with the fix for this escape SANs containing the
problematic characters in order to prevent the injection. This
behavior can be reverted through the `--security-revert` command-line
option.
- More details will be available at
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44532
Incorrect handling of certificate subject and issuer fields (Medium)(CVE-2021-44533)
- Node.js did not handle multi-value Relative Distinguished Names
correctly. Attackers could craft certificate subjects containing a
single-value Relative Distinguished Name that would be interpreted as a
multi-value Relative Distinguished Name, for example, in order to inject
a Common Name that would allow bypassing the certificate subject
verification.
- Affected versions of Node.js do not accept multi-value Relative
Distinguished Names and are thus not vulnerable to such attacks
themselves. However, third-party code that uses node's ambiguous
presentation of certificate subjects may be vulnerable.
- More details will be available at
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44533
Prototype pollution via `console.table` properties (Low)(CVE-2022-21824)
- Due to the formatting logic of the `console.table()` function it was
not safe to allow user controlled input to be passed to the `properties`
parameter while simultaneously passing a plain object with at least one
property as the first parameter, which could be `__proto__`. The
prototype pollution has very limited control, in that it only allows an
empty string to be assigned numerical keys of the object prototype.
- Versions of Node.js with the fix for this use a null protoype for the
object these properties are being assigned to.

protocol allows URI SANs, Node.js did not match the URI correctly.
- Versions of Node.js with the fix for this disable the URI SAN type when
checking a certificate against a hostname. This behavior can be
reverted through the `--security-revert` command-line option.
- More details will be available at
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44531
Certificate Verification Bypass via String Injection (Medium)(CVE-2021-44532)
- Node.js converts SANs (Subject Alternative Names) to a string format.
It uses this string to check peer certificates against hostnames when
validating connections. The string format was subject to an injection
vulnerability when name constraints were used within a certificate
chain, allowing the bypass of these name constraints.
- Versions of Node.js with the fix for this escape SANs containing the
problematic characters in order to prevent the injection. This
behavior can be reverted through the `--security-revert` command-line
option.
- More details will be available at
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44532
Incorrect handling of certificate subject and issuer fields (Medium)(CVE-2021-44533)
- Node.js did not handle multi-value Relative Distinguished Names
correctly. Attackers could craft certificate subjects containing a
single-value Relative Distinguished Name that would be interpreted as a
multi-value Relative Distinguished Name, for example, in order to inject
a Common Name that would allow bypassing the certificate subject
verification.
- Affected versions of Node.js do not accept multi-value Relative
Distinguished Names and are thus not vulnerable to such attacks
themselves. However, third-party code that uses node's ambiguous
presentation of certificate subjects may be vulnerable.
- More details will be available at
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44533
Prototype pollution via `console.table` properties (Low)(CVE-2022-21824)
- Due to the formatting logic of the `console.table()` function it was
not safe to allow user controlled input to be passed to the `properties`
parameter while simultaneously passing a plain object with at least one
property as the first parameter, which could be `__proto__`. The
prototype pollution has very limited control, in that it only allows an
empty string to be assigned numerical keys of the object prototype.
- Versions of Node.js with the fix for this use a null protoype for the
object these properties are being assigned to.

Notable Changes:
Experimental ESM Loader Hooks API:
Node.js ESM Loader hooks have been consolidated to represent the steps involved needed to facilitate future loader chaining:
1. `resolve`: `resolve` [+ `getFormat`]
2. `load`: `getFormat` + `getSource` + `transformSource`
For consistency, `getGlobalPreloadCode` has been renamed to `globalPreload`.
A loader exporting obsolete hook(s) will trigger a single deprecation warning (per loader) listing the errant hooks.

Notable changes
The legacy HTTP parser is runtime deprecated:
- The legacy HTTP parser, selected by the `--http-parser=legacy` command line
option, is deprecated with the pending End-of-Life of Node.js 10.x (where it
is the only HTTP parser implementation provided) at the end of April 2021. It
will now warn on use but otherwise continue to function and may be removed in
a future Node.js 12.x release.
- The default HTTP parser based on llhttp is not affected. By default it is
stricter than the now deprecated legacy HTTP parser. If interoperability with
HTTP implementations that send invalid HTTP headers is required, the HTTP
parser can be started in a less secure mode with the `--insecure-http-parser`
command line option.
ES Modules:
- ES Modules are now considered stable.
node-api:
- Updated to node-api version 8 and added an experimental API to allow
retrieval of the add-on file name.
New API's to control code coverage data collection:
- `v8.stopCoverage()` and `v8.takeCoverage()` have been added.
New API to monitor event loop utilization by Worker threads
- `worker.performance.eventLoopUtilization()` has been added.

Vulnerabilities fixed:
- CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High)
Affected Node.js versions are vulnerable to a use-after-free bug in
its TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket,
node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly
allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method
does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller
as part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to
corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other
exploits
- CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling in nodejs
Affected versions of Node.js allow two copies of a header field in
a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields.
In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and ignores
the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling
