Notable Changes

Corepack

Node.js now includes Corepack, a script that acts as a bridge between Node.js projects and the package managers they are intended to be used with during development. In practical terms, Corepack will let you use Yarn and pnpm without having to install them - just like what currently happens with npm, which is shipped in Node.js by default. Please head over to the Corepack documentation page for more information on how to use it.

Contributed by Maël Nison - #39608

V8 9.3

V8 is updated to version 9.3, which includes performance improvements and new JavaScript features.

Object.hasOwn

Object.hasOwn is a static alias for Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call:

Object.hasOwn({ value: 42 }, 'value'); // Returns `true`.

Error cause

Errors can now be optionally constructed with a cause option, pointing to another error. This adds a cause property on the new error:

const error1 = new Error('Error one');
const error2 = new Error('Error two', { cause: error1 });
// error2.cause === error1

This is a security release.

Notable Changes

  • CVE-2021-3672/CVE-2021-22931: Improper handling of untypical characters in domain names (High)
    • Node.js was vulnerable to Remote Code Execution, XSS, application crashes due to missing input validation of hostnames returned by Domain Name Servers in the Node.js DNS library which can lead to the output of wrong hostnames (leading to Domain Hijacking) and injection vulnerabilities in applications using the library. You can read more about it at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-22931.
  • CVE-2021-22930: Use after free on close http2 on stream canceling (High)
    • Node.js was vulnerable to a use after free attack where an attacker might be able to exploit memory corruption to change process behavior. This release includes a follow-up fix for CVE-2021-22930 as the issue was not completely resolved by the previous fix. You can read more about it at https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-22930.
  • CVE-2021-22939: Incomplete validation of rejectUnauthorized parameter (Low)
    • If the Node.js HTTPS API was used incorrectly and "undefined" was in passed for the "rejectUnauthorized" parameter, no error was returned and connections to servers with an expired certificate would have been accepted. You can read more about it at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-22939.

Notable Changes

Say hello to V8 9.2

The V8 engine is updated to version 9.2.230.21.

It notably introduces the new Array.prototype.at method (also on Typed Arrays and strings):

const array = [1, 2, 3];

console.log(array.at(-1));
// Prints: 3

Notable Changes

Experimental Web Streams API

Node.js now exposes an experimental implementation of the Web Streams API.

While it is experimental, the API is not exposed on the global object and is only accessible using the new stream/web core module:

import { ReadableStream, WritableStream } from 'stream/web';
// Or from 'node:stream/web'

Importing the module will emit a single experimental warning per process.

The raw API is implemented and we are now working on its integration with various existing core APIs.

Notable Changes

Node.js 16.4.1 introduced a regression in the Windows installer on non-English locales that is being fixed in this release. There is no need to download this release if you are not using the Windows installer.

  • [76e709ec63] - win,msi: use localized "Authenticated Users" name (Richard Lau) #39241

2021-07-01, Version 16.4.1 (Current), @BethGriggs

This is a security release.

Notable Changes

Vulnerabilities fixed:

  • CVE-2021-22918: libuv upgrade - Out of bounds read (Medium)
    • Node.js is vulnerable to out-of-bounds read in libuv's uv__idna_toascii() function which is used to convert strings to ASCII. This is called by Node's dns module's lookup() function and can lead to information disclosures or crashes. You can read more about it in https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-22918
  • CVE-2021-22921: Windows installer - Node Installer Local Privilege Escalation (Medium)
    • Node.js is vulnerable to local privilege escalation attacks under certain conditions on Windows platforms. More specifically, improper configuration of permissions in the installation directory allows an attacker to perform two different escalation attacks: PATH and DLL hijacking. You can read more about it in https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-22921

Stable Timers Promises API

The Timers Promises API provides an alternative set of timer functions that return Promise objects. Added in Node.js v15.0.0, in this release they graduate from experimental status to stable.

Toolchain and Compiler Upgrades

Node.js v16.0.0 will be the first release where we ship prebuilt binaries for Apple Silicon. While we’ll be providing separate tarballs for the Intel (darwin-x64) and ARM (darwin-arm64) architectures the macOS installer (.pkg) will be shipped as a ‘fat’ (multi-architecture) binary.

V8 9.0

The V8 JavaScript engine is updated to V8 9.0, including performance tweaks and improvements.

This update also brings the ECMAScript RegExp Match Indices, which provide the start and end indices of the captured string. The indices array is available via the .indices property on match objects when the regular expression has the /d flag.
