"A bug that only reproduces when async_hooks are used would break this attempt, causing Node.js to exit with 7 directly without throwing a catchable error when recursions in user code exhaust the stack space. This makes applications whose recursion depth is controlled by unsanitized input vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks." It has been addressed in the following versions - Node.js 20.20.0 (LTS) Node.js 22.22.0 (LTS) Node.js 24.13.0 (LTS) Node.js 25.3.0 (Current) The problem also impacts all Node.js versions from 8.x, which was the first version with async_hooks, to 18.x. It's worth noting that Node.js version 8.0.0, codenamed Carbon, was released on May 30, 2017. However, these versions remain unpatched as they have reached end-of-life (EoL) status. Reproducible: Always
