Brotli decoder flaw CVE-2026-111497 (Broccoli2Shell) is exploited and fixed in Node.js security releases

CISA added CVE-2026-111497, an unchecked return value flaw in Google Brotli, to KEV on 2026-10-27. A crafted Brotli stream can cause memory corruption, memory disclosure, denial of service or possibly RCE. Node.js shipped security releases for the 26.x, 24.x and 22.x lines, which fix the Brotli bug along with other high-severity DNS and TLS issues. CloudSecList says other components such as Bun and Envoy are also affected. Upgrade Node.js and any services that decompress untrusted Brotli data.

Microsoft analyzes malicious Claude Code-branded extension with SSH backdoor on Cursor marketplace

Cursor reported that a tampered copy of the Claude Code extension (versions 2.1.312 and 2.1.313) was served on its marketplace for a few hours on October 29, 2026.
