A flaw in V8's string hashing mechanism causes integer-like strings to be hashed to their numeric value, making hash collisions trivially predictable. By crafting a request that causes many such collisions in V8's internal string table, an attacker can significantly degrade performance of the Node.js process.
The most common trigger is any endpoint that calls JSON.parse() on attacker-controlled input, as JSON parsing automatically internalizes short strings into the affected hash table.
This vulnerability affects 20.x, 22.x, 24.x, and 25.x.
A flaw was found in V8's string hashing mechanism within Node.js. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting requests containing integer-like strings. These specially crafted strings cause predictable hash collisions in V8's internal string table, particularly when processed by functions like JSON.parse() on attacker-controlled input. This can significantly degrade the performance of the Node.js process, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
