CVE-2026-21714

A flaw was found in Node.js. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability in Node.js HTTP/2 servers by sending specially crafted WINDOW_UPDATE frames on stream 0 (connection-level). These frames can cause the flow control window to exceed its maximum value, leading to a memory leak as Http2Session objects are not properly cleaned up. This can result in resource exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) condition for the server.
