UNDICI PATCHES CHUNKED RESPONSE VALIDATION HOLE AS NODE-GYP PIVOTS TO v26

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Node.js

Undici fixed a critical gap where EOF on chunked HTTP/1.1 responses could slip through without validating the terminating chunk, while node-gyp simultaneously dropped v20 from CI and landed full v26 support.

The undici team closed a real vulnerability in response parsing [1]—EOF-delimited responses were passing validation without checking for proper chunked encoding termination, a gap that could allow truncated responses to be treated as complete. That fix arrives alongside performance wins: stream handler overhead cuts [2] by replacing stream.finished() with targeted writable lifecycle tracking, and HTTP/2 client improvements [3] through handler reuse. Meanwhile, a type correctness fix [4] removes throwOnError from Dispatcher.RequestOptions, aligning the type signatures with v7's actual API. On the build side, node-gyp killed v20 from its test matrix [5] and added v26 support [6], with undici's fetch import wired in [7]. The dist-indexer bumped semver to 7.8.0 [8], bringing new features to version parsing across the ecosystem.
