Fixed distribution for native addon builds

This release fixes an issue introduced in Node.js v17.0.0, where some V8 headers were missing from the distributed tarball, making it impossible to build native addons. These headers are now included. #​40526

Fixed stream issues
  • Fixed a regression in stream.promises.pipeline, which was introduced in version 16.10.0, is fixed. It is now possible again to pass an array of streams to the function. #​40193
  • Fixed a bug in stream.Duplex.from, which didn't work properly when an async generator function was passed to it. #​40499

OpenSSL 3.0

Node.js now includes OpenSSL 3.0, specifically quictls/openssl which provides QUIC support. With OpenSSL 3.0 FIPS support is again available using the new FIPS module. For details about how to build Node.js with FIPS support please see BUILDING.md.

While OpenSSL 3.0 APIs should be mostly compatible with those provided by OpenSSL 1.1.1, we do anticipate some ecosystem impact due to tightened restrictions on the allowed algorithms and key sizes.

If you hit an ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED error in your application with Node.js 17, it’s likely that your application or a module you’re using is attempting to use an algorithm or key size which is no longer allowed by default with OpenSSL 3.0. A command-line option, --openssl-legacy-provider, has been added to revert to the legacy provider as a temporary workaround for these tightened restrictions.

For details about all the features in OpenSSL 3.0 please see the OpenSSL 3.0 release blog.

V8 9.5

The V8 JavaScript engine is updated to V8 9.5. This release comes with additional supported types for the Intl.DisplayNames API and Extended timeZoneName options in the Intl.DateTimeFormat API.

You can read more details in the V8 9.5 release post - https://v8.dev/blog/v8-release-95.

Readline Promise API

The readline module provides an interface for reading data from a Readable stream (such as process.stdin) one line at a time.

The following simple example illustrates the basic use of the readline module:

import * as readline from 'node:readline/promises';
import { stdin as input, stdout as output } from 'process';

const rl = readline.createInterface({ input, output });

const answer = await rl.question('What do you think of Node.js? ');

console.log(`Thank you for your valuable feedback: ${answer}`);

rl.close();

Notable Changes
Experimental ESM Loader Hooks API

Node.js ESM Loader hooks have been consolidated to represent the steps involved needed to facilitate future loader chaining:

  1. resolve: resolve [+ getFormat]
  2. load: getFormat + getSource + transformSource

For consistency, getGlobalPreloadCode has been renamed to globalPreload.

A loader exporting obsolete hook(s) will trigger a single deprecation warning (per loader) listing the errant hooks.

Notable Changes
Corepack

Node.js now includes Corepack, a script that acts as a bridge between Node.js projects and the package managers they are intended to be used with during development. In practical terms, Corepack will let you use Yarn and pnpm without having to install them - just like what currently happens with npm, which is shipped in Node.js by default. Please head over to the Corepack documentation page for more information on how to use it.

V8 9.3

V8 is updated to version 9.3, which includes performance improvements and new JavaScript features.

Object.hasOwn

Object.hasOwn is a static alias for Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call:

Object.hasOwn({ value: 42 }, 'value'); // Returns `true`.
Error cause

Errors can now be optionally constructed with a cause option, pointing to another error. This adds a cause property on the new error:

const error1 = new Error('Error one');
const error2 = new Error('Error two', { cause: error1 });
// error2.cause === error1

Experimental Web Streams API

Node.js now exposes an experimental implementation of the Web Streams API.

While it is experimental, the API is not exposed on the global object and is only accessible using the new stream/web core module:

import { ReadableStream, WritableStream } from 'stream/web';
// Or from 'node:stream/web'

Importing the module will emit a single experimental warning per process.

The raw API is implemented and we are now working on its integration with various existing core APIs.

This is a security release.

Notable changes

Vulnerabilities fixed:

  • CVE-2021-22883: HTTP2 'unknownProtocol' cause Denial of Service by resource exhaustion
    • Affected Node.js versions are vulnerable to denial of service attacks when too many connection attempts with an 'unknownProtocol' are established. This leads to a leak of file descriptors. If a file descriptor limit is configured on the system, then the server is unable to accept new connections and prevent the process also from opening, e.g. a file. If no file descriptor limit is configured, then this lead to an excessive memory usage and cause the system to run out of memory.
  • CVE-2021-22884: DNS rebinding in --inspect
    • Affected Node.js versions are vulnerable to denial of service attacks when the whitelist includes “localhost6”. When “localhost6” is not present in /etc/hosts, it is just an ordinary domain that is resolved via DNS, i.e., over network. If the attacker controls the victim's DNS server or can spoof its responses, the DNS rebinding protection can be bypassed by using the “localhost6” domain. As long as the attacker uses the “localhost6” domain, they can still apply the attack described in CVE-2018-7160.

v15.5.1

Compare Source

This is a security release.

Notable changes

Vulnerabilities fixed:

  • CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High)

    • Affected Node.js versions are vulnerable to a use-after-free bug in its TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket, node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other exploits.

  • CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling in nodejs (Low)

    • Affected versions of Node.js allow two copies of a header field in a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields. In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html).

Notable Changes
Extended support for AbortSignal in child_process and stream

The following APIs now support an AbortSignal in their options object:

  • child_process.spawn()

Calling .abort() on the corresponding AbortController is similar to calling .kill() on the child process except the error passed to the callback will be an AbortError:

const controller = new AbortController();
const { signal } = controller;
const grep = spawn('grep', ['ssh'], { signal });
grep.on('error', (err) => {
  // This will be called with err being an AbortError if the controller aborts
});
controller.abort(); // stops the process
  • new stream.Writable() and new stream.Readable()

Calling .abort() on the corresponding AbortController will behave the same way as calling .destroy(new AbortError()) on the stream:

const { Readable } = require('stream');
const controller = new AbortController();
const read = new Readable({
  read(size) {
    // ...
  },
  signal: controller.signal
});
// Later, abort the operation closing the stream
controller.abort();

BigInt support in querystring.stringify()

If querystring.stringify() is called with an object that contains BigInt values, they will now be serialized to their decimal representation instead of the empty string:

const querystring = require('querystring');
console.log(querystring.stringify({ bigint: 2n ** 64n }));
// Prints: bigint=18446744073709551616

Contributed by Darshan Sen #​36499.

Additions to the C++ embedder APIs

A new IsolateSettingsFlag is available for those calling SetIsolateUpForNode(): SHOULD_NOT_SET_MREPARE_STACK_TRACE_CALLBACK can be used to prevent Node.js from setting a custom callback to prepare stack traces.

Contributed by Shelley Vohr #​36447.

Added node::GetEnvironmentIsolateData() and node::GetArrayBufferAllocator() to respectively get the current IsolateData* and, from it, the current Node.js ArrayBufferAllocator if there is one.

Contributed by Anna Henningsen #​36441.

New core collaborator

With this release, we welcome a new Node.js core collaborator:

Notable Changes
Diagnostics channel (experimental module)

diagnostics_channel is a new experimental module that provides an API to create named channels to report arbitrary message data for diagnostics purposes.

With diagnostics_channel, Node.js core and module authors can publish contextual data about what they are doing at a given time. This could be the hostname and query string of a mysql query, for example. Just create a named channel with dc.channel(name) and call channel.publish(data) to send the data to any listeners to that channel.

const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');

MySQL.prototype.query = function query(queryString, values, callback) {
  // Broadcast query information whenever a query is made
  channel.publish({
    query: queryString,
    host: this.hostname,
  });

  this.doQuery(queryString, values, callback);
};

Channels are like one big global event emitter but are split into separate objects to ensure they get the best performance. If nothing is listening to the channel, the publishing overhead should be as close to zero as possible. Consuming channel data is as easy as using channel.subscribe(listener) to run a function whenever a message is published to that channel.

const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');

channel.subscribe(({ query, host }) => {
  console.log(`mysql query to ${host}: ${query}`);
});

The data captured can be used to provide context for what an app is doing at a given time. This can be used for things like augmenting tracing data, tracking network and filesystem activity, logging queries, and many other things. It's also a very useful data source for diagnostics tools to provide a clearer picture of exactly what the application is doing at a given point in the data they are presenting.

New child process 'spawn' event

Instances of ChildProcess now emit a new 'spawn' event once the child process has spawned successfully.

If emitted, the 'spawn' event comes before all other events and before any data is received via stdout or stderr.

The 'spawn' event will fire regardless of whether an error occurs within the spawned process. For example, if bash some-command spawns successfully, the 'spawn' event will fire, though bash may fail to spawn some-command. This caveat also applies when using { shell: true }.

Contributed by Matthew Francis Brunetti #​35369.

Set the local address for DNS resolution

It is now possible to set the local IP address used by a Resolver instance to send its requests. This allows programs to specify outbound interfaces when used on multi-homed systems.

The resolver will use the v4 local address when making requests to IPv4 DNS servers, and the v6 local address when making requests to IPv6 DNS servers.

const { Resolver } = require('dns');

const resolver = new Resolver();

resolver.setLocalAddress('10.1.2.3');
// Equivalent to: resolver.setLocalAddress('10.1.2.3', '::0');

Contributed by Josh Dague #​34824.

Control V8 coverage at runtime

The v8 module includes two new methods to control the V8 coverage started by the NODE_V8_COVERAGE environment variable.

With v8.takeCoverage(), it is possible to write a coverage report to disk on demand. This can be done multiple times during the lifetime of the process, and the execution counter will be reset on each call. When the process is about to exit, one last coverage will still be written to disk, unless v8.stopCoverage() was invoked before.

The v8.stopCoverage() method allows to stop the coverage collection, so that V8 can release the execution counters and optimize code.

Contributed by Joyee Cheung #​33807.

Analyze Worker's event loop utilization

Worker instances now have a performance property, with a single eventLoopUtilization method that can be used to gather information about the worker's event loop utilization between the 'online' and 'exit' events.

The method works the same way as perf_hooks eventLoopUtilization().

Contributed by Trevor Norris #​35664.

Take a V8 heap snapshot just before running out of memory (experimental)

With the new --heapsnapshot-near-heap-limit=max_count experimental command line flag, it is now possible to automatically generate a heap snapshot when the V8 heap usage is approaching the heap limit. count should be a non-negative integer (in which case Node.js will write no more than max_count snapshots to disk).

When generating snapshots, garbage collection may be triggered and bring the heap usage down, therefore multiple snapshots may be written to disk before the Node.js instance finally runs out of memory. These heap snapshots can be compared to determine what objects are being allocated during the time consecutive snapshots are taken.

Generating V8 snapshots takes time and memory (both memory managed by the V8 heap and native memory outside the V8 heap). The bigger the heap is, the more resources it needs. Node.js will adjust the V8 heap to accommondate the additional V8 heap memory overhead, and try its best to avoid using up all the memory avialable to the process.

npm 7 - #​35631

Node.js 15 comes with a new major release of npm, npm 7. npm 7 comes with many new features - including npm workspaces and a new package-lock.json format. npm 7 also includes yarn.lock file support. One of the big changes in npm 7 is that peer dependencies are now installed by default.

Throw On Unhandled Rejections - #​33021

As of Node.js 15, the default mode for unhandledRejection is changed to throw (from warn). In throw mode, if an unhandledRejection hook is not set, the unhandledRejection is raised as an uncaught exception. Users that have an unhandledRejection hook should see no change in behavior, and it’s still possible to switch modes using the --unhandled-rejections=mode process flag.

QUIC - #​32379

Node.js 15 comes with experimental support QUIC, which can be enabled by compiling Node.js with the --experimental-quic configuration flag. The Node.js QUIC implementation is exposed by the core net module.

V8 8.6 - #​35415

The V8 JavaScript engine has been updated to V8 8.6 (V8 8.4 is the latest available in Node.js 14). Along with performance tweaks and improvements the V8 update also brings the following language features:

  • Promise.any() (from V8 8.5)
  • AggregateError (from V8 8.5)
  • String.prototype.replaceAll() (from V8 8.5)
  • Logical assignment operators &&=, ||=, and ??= (from V8 8.5)

Notable Changes
  • CVE-2021-3672/CVE-2021-22931: Improper handling of untypical characters in domain names (High)
    • Node.js was vulnerable to Remote Code Execution, XSS, application crashes due to missing input validation of hostnames returned by Domain Name Servers in the Node.js DNS library which can lead to the output of wrong hostnames (leading to Domain Hijacking) and injection vulnerabilities in applications using the library. You can read more about it at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-22931.
  • CVE-2021-22940: Use after free on close http2 on stream canceling (High)
    • Node.js was vulnerable to a use after free attack where an attacker might be able to exploit memory corruption to change process behavior. This release includes a follow-up fix for CVE-2021-22930 as the issue was not completely resolved by the previous fix. You can read more about it at https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-22940.
  • CVE-2021-22939: Incomplete validation of rejectUnauthorized parameter (Low)
    • If the Node.js HTTPS API was used incorrectly and "undefined" was in passed for the "rejectUnauthorized" parameter, no error was returned and connections to servers with an expired certificate would have been accepted.

This is a security release.

Notable Changes

Vulnerabilities fixed:

  • CVE-2021-22918: libuv upgrade - Out of bounds read (Medium)
    • Node.js is vulnerable to out-of-bounds read in libuv's uv__idna_toascii() function which is used to convert strings to ASCII. This is called by Node's dns module's lookup() function and can lead to information disclosures or crashes. You can read more about it in https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-22918
  • CVE-2021-22921: Windows installer - Node Installer Local Privilege Escalation (Medium)
    • Node.js is vulnerable to local privilege escalation attacks under certain conditions on Windows platforms. More specifically, improper configuration of permissions in the installation directory allows an attacker to perform two different escalation attacks: PATH and DLL hijacking.

Notable Changes
Diagnostics channel (experimental module)

diagnostics_channel is a new experimental module that provides an API to create named channels to report arbitrary message data for diagnostics purposes.

The module was initially introduced in Node.js v15.1.0 and is backported to v14.17.0 to enable testing it at a larger scale.

With diagnostics_channel, Node.js core and module authors can publish contextual data about what they are doing at a given time. This could be the hostname and query string of a mysql query, for example. Just create a named channel with dc.channel(name) and call channel.publish(data) to send the data to any listeners to that channel.

const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');

MySQL.prototype.query = function query(queryString, values, callback) {
  // Broadcast query information whenever a query is made
  channel.publish({
    query: queryString,
    host: this.hostname,
  });

  this.doQuery(queryString, values, callback);
};

Channels are like one big global event emitter but are split into separate objects to ensure they get the best performance. If nothing is listening to the channel, the publishing overhead should be as close to zero as possible. Consuming channel data is as easy as using channel.subscribe(listener) to run a function whenever a message is published to that channel.

const dc = require('diagnostics_channel');
const channel = dc.channel('mysql.query');

channel.subscribe(({ query, host }) => {
  console.log(`mysql query to ${host}: ${query}`);
});

The data captured can be used to provide context for what an app is doing at a given time. This can be used for things like augmenting tracing data, tracking network and filesystem activity, logging queries, and many other things. It's also a very useful data source for diagnostics tools to provide a clearer picture of exactly what the application is doing at a given point in the data they are presenting.

UUID support in the crypto module

The new crypto.randomUUID() method now allows to generate random RFC 4122 Version 4 UUID strings:

const { randomUUID } = require('crypto');

console.log(randomUUID());
// 'aa7c91a1-f8fc-4339-b9db-f93fc7233429'

Experimental support for AbortController and AbortSignal

Node.js 14.17.0 adds experimental partial support for AbortController and AbortSignal.

Both constructors can be enabled globally using the --experimental-abortcontroller flag.

Additionally, several Node.js APIs have been updated to support AbortSignal for cancellation. It is not mandatory to use the built-in constructors with them. Any spec-compliant third-party alternatives should be compatible.

AbortSignal support was added to the following methods:

  • child_process.exec
  • child_process.execFile
  • child_process.fork
  • child_process.spawn
  • dgram.createSocket
  • events.on
  • events.once
  • fs.readFile
  • fs.watch
  • fs.writeFile
  • http.request
  • https.request
  • http2Session.request
  • The promisified variants of setImmediate and setTimeout
