Imperva Proves Node2Shell RCE on Official Node.js 24 via Crafted Brotli Data

Security researchers at Imperva have demonstrated a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability, dubbed 'Node2Shell', in the official Node.js 24.22.0 Linux arm64 build. The exploit leverages a flaw in the bundled Brotli decoder (CVE-2026-111497), allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending crafted compressed data. Node.js released a fix on October 21, 2026, and no active exploitation has been reported in the wild as of October 22.
