CVE-2026-56850 [MEDIUM] CWE-303 nodejs: Node.js: mTLS client identities can be reused due to HTTPS Agent connection flaw
nodejs: Node.js: mTLS client identities can be reused due to HTTPS Agent connection flaw
A flaw was found in Node.js. The HTTPS Agent, responsible for managing secure connections, can incorrectly reuse client identities across different requests. This occurs due to a technical issue with PFX object-array key collisions during connection reuse. As a result, a client's identity, established through mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication, could be mistakenly applied to another request, potentially leading to unauthorized access or identity spoofing.
Statement: This Moderate flaw in Node.js allows mutual TLS (mTLS) client identities to be reused across requests due to a connection reuse issue within the HTTPS Agent. This can lead to unintended identity confusion if applications are configured to u
