CVE-2026-62985
NVD: request-filtering-agent is an http(s).Agent implementation that blocks requests to Private/Reserved IP addresses. NVD: Prior to 3.2.1, RequestFilteringHttpAgent and RequestFilteringHttpsAgent synchronously threw from createConnection when rejecting a literal private-IP host such as 169.254.169.254 or 127.0.0.1. NVD: Because Node.js http.request and http.get expect connection failures to be delivered asynchronously, the throw bypassed req.on('error') and became an uncaught exception that could terminate the application process.
