Hi, The following vulnerability was published for node-compression. CVE-2026-87776[0]: | compression is a Node.js and Express compression middleware. In | versions before 1.8.2, when a client aborts the connection while a | compressed response is still being sent, the zlib stream created to | compress that response is never destroyed, so each aborted | compressed response leaks its native zlib memory. A remote | unauthenticated attacker can repeatedly open requests and disconnect | early, exhausting the available memory and crashing the server. All | applications using compression are affected. The issue is fixed in | compression 1.8.2, and users should upgrade to 1.8.2 or later. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
