Node.js < 12.22.9, < 14.18.3, < 16.13.2, and < 17.3.1 converts SANs (Subject Alternative Names) to a string format. It uses this string to check peer certificates against hostnames when validating connections. The string format was subject to an injection vulnerability when name constraints were used within a certificate chain, allowing the bypass of these name constraints.Versions of Node.js with the fix for this escape SANs containing the problematic characters in order to prevent the injection. This behavior can be reverted through the --security-revert command-line option.

Node.js versiones anteriores a 12.22.9, versiones anteriores a 14.18.3, versiones anteriores a 16.13.2 y versiones anteriores a 17.3.1, convierte los SAN (Subject Alternative Names) a un formato de cadena. usa esta cadena para comprobar los certificados de los compañeros con los nombres de host cuando comprueba las conexiones. El formato de cadena estaba sujeto a una vulnerabilidad de inyección cuando eran usados restricciones de nombre dentro de una cadena de certificados, permitiendo omitir estas restricciones de nombre. Las versiones de Node.js con la corrección de esto escapan de los SAN que contienen los caracteres problemáticos para evitar la inyección. Este comportamiento puede revertirse mediante la opción de línea de comandos --security-revert
