CVE-2026-56848 is a high-severity vulnerability in Node.js HTTP/2 handling that affects all active release lines at the time of disclosure. The flaw arises from a heap use-after-free condition triggered when the underlying nghttp2 library processes data while additional data is received concurrently. Under these conditions, memory that has already been freed can be referenced again during HTTP/2 processing, leading to memory corruption and process instability. The issue is reachable through HTTP/2 traffic handling in affected Node.js releases and can be triggered remotely by crafted protocol interactions.
