How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 nodejs22 to version 22.22.2-150600.13.15.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs22 package and not the nodejs22 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw in Node.js HTTP request handling causes an uncaught TypeError when a request is received with a header named __proto__ and the application accesses req.headersDistinct.

When this occurs, dest[&#34;__proto__&#34;] resolves to Object.prototype rather than undefined, causing .push() to be called on a non-array. This exception is thrown synchronously inside a property getter and cannot be intercepted by error event listeners, meaning it cannot be handled without wrapping every req.headersDistinct access in a try/catch.

  • This vulnerability affects all Node.js HTTP servers on 20.x, 22.x, 24.x, and v25.x
