CVE-2025-27209
Last modified
CVE-2025-27209 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.77% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
