A flaw was found in Node.js. Non-canonical numeric hostnames (for example 127.1 or 0127.0.0.1) can be normalized by domainToASCII() to one IPv4 address for certificate checks while the platform resolver connects to a different address. A TLS client may therefore accept a certificate that does not identify the connected peer, enabling server impersonation.
