Published Jul 18, 2025 CVSS 3.0 · 7.5 High EPSS 1.3% KEV · Not listed
Description
The V8 release used in Node.js v24.0.0 has changed how string hashes are computed using rapidhash. This implementation re-introduces the HashDoS vulnerability as an attacker who can control the strings to be hashed can generate many hash collisions - an attacker can generate collisions even without knowing the hash-seed.

* This vulnerability affects Node.js v24.x users.
