    Node2Shell / HTTP2Shell: Brotli RCE (CVE-2026-111497) in Node.js, Python, Envoy and Istio + Node.js October releases

    Node2Shell (CVE-2026-111497, also written Node 2 Shell) is a Brotli decoder out-of-bounds write in Node.js that can let an attacker run code when an app decompresses attacker-controlled Brotli data: Express 5 / body-parser 2.x request bodies sent with Content-Encoding: br, Brotli responses read by fetch(), or node:zlib on untrusted input. OpenAI Codex Security (Khai Tran and Sylvie Mayer) reported it; Node.js fixed it on Oct 21 2026 in 26.12.1, 24.22.1 and 22.23.4, alongside nine other CVEs (TLS hostname/IP bypasses, DNS NUL truncation) and a CA store refresh for the eMudhra incident. On Oct 22 Imperva Red Team, which coined the name Node2Shell, ran code on the official Node.js 24.22.0 image. NVD lists CVSS 4.0 9.2 (critical); Node.js rates it High. End-of-life lines (Node.js 20, 23, 25 and older) get no fix: upgrade to 26.12.1, 24.22.1 or 22.23.4. Bun is fixed in 1.4.4. On Oct 23 Aikido started calling the wider impact HTTP2Shell: the bug sits in Google Brotli itself, so other software that decodes Brotli needs its own update. Envoy published a critical advisory (GHSA-3wvj-j6qm-62mr) for deployments with a Brotli decompressor configured, fixed in 1.40.0, 1.39.3, 1.38.6 and 1.37.8, and Istio has the fix in 1.29.9, 1.30.6 and 1.31.2. If you can't patch yet, disable Brotli decoding of untrusted data.
