UNDICI PATCHES CRITICAL SOCKET VALIDATION BUG AS NODE CORE DEPENDENCY UPDATES SHIP

Undici 8.4.0 lands in Node core with three production fixes that prevent socket assertion crashes, TLS hostname rejections, and parser hangs under backpressure.

The headline story is a guard on idle socket validation that was silently failing fresh sockets [1], paired with a critical parser fix that removes an uncatchable assertion when the HTTP/1 parser is paused and the socket ends [2]. That second fix matters because backpressured requests (body not consumed) were throwing AssertionErrors from the socket 'end' handler - a silent killer in production. A third fix ensures pipelined TLS altname errors reject requests instead of tripping queue assertions [3]. Node core already shipped undici 8.4.0 [4], so you're getting these fixes in your next Node release. Separately, Node bumped ngtcp2 to 1.23.0 [5], nghttp3 to 1.16.0 [6], and sqlite to 3.53.2 [7], all routine but worth monitoring for QUIC/HTTP/3 behavior changes. Node-gyp broke compatibility with versions below Node 22.22.2 [8], aligned with npm's upcoming engine range [9], so if you're on 20.x you're on borrowed time for native module builds.

Action items

→ Review undici socket and parser fixes before deploying HTTP/1 workloads under backpressure nodejs/undici [plan]
→ Update node-gyp if you're shipping native modules; drop support for Node <22.22.2 nodejs/node-gyp [plan]
→ Monitor ngtcp2 and nghttp3 updates for QUIC/H3 edge cases in your infrastructure nodejs/node [monitor]
