Next.js's bundled http-proxy 1.18.1 stamps Content-Length: 0 on chunked DELETE and OPTIONS rewrites, so a hidden second request reaches the backend. Whether it reaches anything sensitive depends on how the next hop frames requests and which internal routes the backend opens to its proxy.

OpenAI patched two Codex sandbox escapes within eight days of an August 12 report. The Desktop fix is a build number, but the tool the escape targeted stays in config.toml and loads into every session.

vm2's maintainer patched a CVSS 9.5 flaw in 3.12.2 where the module allowlist matched an approved path as a bare prefix and cleared a neighboring package. With NodeVM's default host context, the unapproved sibling ran with full Node authority.

Google, Anthropic and OpenAI shipped four model releases in 12 days, and each one's own docs list ways that code written for the earlier version now fails. A swap of the model ID is a dependency upgrade and needs contract tests at the provider boundary before it ships.

Shane Friedman released version 1.0.0 of Storyteller's EPUB library on October 1, adding browser reads, EPUB 2-to-3 upgrades and a namespace-aware DOM. Teams building EPUB tools can now use code shaped by one product's needs, though adoption beyond Storyteller is unproven.

Transactional mail can pass SPF and DKIM and still fail DMARC when neither aligns with the visible From domain, a dev.to Node.js guide shows. Because forwarding breaks SPF, the author treats aligned DKIM as the path to protect.

DeepSeek released its open-source Harness agent runtime as a Windows and macOS desktop app on September 30, so users no longer need a command line to run it. The agent edits local files and runs commands, so what each user exposes to it decides what it can touch and which provider sees it.

zstd-stream, a JavaScript compression library, keeps browser memory near 35 MB for files of any size, according to its author. Because it streams, teams can compress multi-gigabyte files on the user's device, either to save them locally or to shrink them before upload.

Ten Node.js v24.15.0 test cases published on dev.to show the extension and the nearest package.json decide whether a file runs as ESM or CommonJS. Settling that before editing imports shows whether the fix is configuration or an asynchronous caller.

Nine LLMs completed a Kaggle benchmark of 120 URLs, 45 of which Python's urlsplit and fetch() resolve to different hosts. If a model approves the Python reading and the request goes out through fetch(), the API key reaches a host nobody approved.

Node.js marks type stripping Stable in versions 25.2 and 24.12, letting node script.ts run TypeScript without ts-node, tsx or a build step. Node only deletes types, so the switch holds for code that stays inside TypeScript's erasable subset.

Node.js will ship one major release a year from this October, dropping the odd-numbered line that few teams ran in production. LTS-only shops mostly see renumbering, and the cost lands on teams that took new APIs from the odd Current line.

Sorting a million-row CSV in an Electron renderer took over a minute, 140x slower than the same code in a Node script, its developer found. The slowdown showed up only in a renderer already holding a large file, so a profile taken there was the only way to find it.

V8's 'is not valid JSON' error quotes the whole response body when it is 20 characters or fewer, according to a developer's tests on Node 24.13. A quote without a trailing ellipsis is the entire reply, so a short error body can be diagnosed from the logged message alone.
