CVE-2026-125334: Forge: TLS client crash on a handshake record received without a session
A forge.tls client throws an uncaught TypeError from connection.process() when it receives a ServerHello while it has no session: after a close_notify alert or a call to close(), or before handshake() is called. A malicious server or an on-path attacker can use this to terminate a Node.js process. Fixed in node-forge 1.4.3.
