Problem

  • https.Agent#getName() (src/js/node/https.ts) builds the pool name with name += value. A pfx: [{ buf, passphrase }] or key: [{ pem, passphrase }] entry, an ArrayBuffer and a Bun.file() all coerce to "[object ...]". The Bun-only certFile, keyFile, caFile options and allowPartialTrustChain are not in the name.
  • Two requests with different client certificates then share one name. The second rides the first one's keep-alive connection, or with keepAlive: false resumes its cached TLS session. The server sees client A twice.
  • Node fixed the pfx array form as CVE-2026-56850 (nodejs/node 9f03017f38). Client-side only.

Fix

  • poolKeyPart() keys ca, cert, key, crl, dhparam and each pfx buf. Every Node-valid name stays byte-identical.
  • pfxPoolKey() follows Node's getPfxAgentKey(). A key entry is keyed by its pem, an ArrayBuffer or DataView by its bytes, any other object (Blob, BunFile) by an identity id from a WeakMap counter.
  • certFile, keyFile, caFile (JSON-quoted) and a truthy allowPartialTrustChain are labelled parts at the end of the name.
  • Verified: test/js/node/http/node-https-agent-getname.test.ts (stock bun fails 15 of 17, the same node:test file passes on Node v26.5.1). test-https-agent-getname.js is synced to upstream. Self-reviewed: 9 concerns raised, 8 addressed (see Notes).

Background

  • https.Agent pools sockets by getName(options). The same name keys _sessionCache, the TLS sessions it offers on new connections.
  • A resumed TLS session keeps the peer identity and the verification result of its first handshake.
  • Bun accepts ArrayBuffer and Bun.file() values, a bare pfx: { buf } entry and the certFile / keyFile / caFile paths. Node rejects or ignores these, so its fix does not cover them.
  • allowPartialTrustChain lets a chain end at a trusted intermediate certificate and not only at a self-signed root.
Notes

Before the fix (vendored fixtures, agent1 is CN=agent1, agent10 is CN=agent10.example.com):

pool key A: localhost:35647:::::::[object Object]::::::::::::::
pool key B: localhost:35647:::::::[object Object]::::::::::::::
pfx array A -> peer=agent1 conn=33474 reused=false
pfx array B -> peer=agent1 conn=33474 reused=true
BunFile B -> peer=agent1 conn=54538 reused=true            name: h:1:::[object Blob]:::[object Blob]:::::::::::::::
ArrayBuffer B -> peer=agent1 conn=54552 reused=true        name: h:1:::[object ArrayBuffer]:::[object ArrayBuffer]:::::::::::::::
certFile/keyFile B -> peer=agent1 conn=43504 reused=true   name: h:1:::::::::::::::::::::
caFile=ca1 -> ok, then caFile=ca2 -> ok reused=true        (a new agent gives UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE)
keepAlive:false, TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3: pfx array B -> peer=agent1 resumed=true reusedSocket=false

The test file under each runtime:

runtime pass fail skipped
this branch (debug build) 17 0 0
bun 1.4.3-canary 2 15 0
node v26.5.1 (has 9f03017f38) 5 0 11 (Bun-only cases)
node v26.3.0 (does not) 1 0 15
  • Identity keys mean that a request that builds a new Bun.file() per request no longer shares a pool with the previous request. The same object passed again does. Agent-level options are one object for every request, so they pool as before.
  • key: [{ pem, passphrase }] collided the same way. cert is in the name and a key has to match its certificate, so this could not change the presented identity. The passphrase only decrypts the pem, so it stays out of the name. The result is the same name as key: pem.
  • A pfx entry keeps the passphrase in the name, as Node's fix does. The upstream test asserts it.
  • A pfx array renders exactly as in Node v26.5.1. The test asserts the literal names, for example pfx: [Buffer('a'), { buf: 'b', passphrase: 'p' }], passphrase: 'q' gives ...:a:q:b:p....
  • The comma join for ca / cert / key / crl arrays is Node's own format (['a,b'] and ['a', 'b'] share a name there too). It is kept so that every Node-valid name stays byte-identical. The vendored upstream test asserts c,r,l.
  • allowPartialTrustChain: the client trusts only the intermediate ca3, the server presents agent6 -> ca3 -> ca1. A new agent gives UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT for a strict request. Before the fix the strict request answered 200 after a relaxed one, on the pooled connection (keepAlive: true) and on the resumed session (keepAlive: false).
  • The identity ids use WeakMap.prototype.get and set captured at module load and called with .$call, like the other captured prototype methods in this file.
  • SSLConfig options that stay out of the name because they do not change what a client connection presents or trusts: passphrase, dhParamsFile, lowMemoryMode, requestCert, clientRenegotiationLimit, clientRenegotiationWindow, sessionTimeout.
  • The upstream end-to-end test test-https-agent-pfx-object-array-reuse.js is not vendored here. It reads req.socket.getPeerCertificate() on an https.Server request, which Bun does not have yet (node:https: make req.socket a tls.TLSSocket with getPeerCertificate() #37255). The new test covers the same flow through tls.createServer.
  • Land order with node:https: pool names digest TLS parts over 1 KiB instead of embedding them #37223 (open, digests pool-name parts over 1 KiB through "" + value): this PR first. node:https: pool names digest TLS parts over 1 KiB instead of embedding them #37223 then wraps the value that poolKeyPart() returns, and the collision stays fixed.
  • Suites run on the debug build: node-https-agent-getname.test.ts, node-http-agent-free-socket.test.ts, node-http-agent-tls-options.test.mts, node-https-checkServerIdentity.test.ts, node-http-proxy-url.test.ts, and test/js/node/test/parallel/test-https-agent*.js, test-http-agent-getname.js, test-https-pfx.js, test-tls-pfx-authorizationerror.js, test-tls-multi-pfx.js, test-tls-multi-key.js, test-tls-passphrase.js.
  • Self-review: addressed by keying the file options, keeping the key passphrase out of the name, making the tests run on Node, stating the land order with node:https: pool names digest TLS parts over 1 KiB instead of embedding them #37223, and correcting a comment. Not done here: a test that walks the option names in SSLConfig.bindv2.ts and fails on one that getName() does not classify. It is a follow-up, so that this PR stays the Node port plus the Bun-only forms.

…S options hold

https.Agent#getName() appended ca, cert, key, pfx, crl and dhparam with
string coercion. A { buf | pem, passphrase } entry, an ArrayBuffer and a
Blob all coerce to "[object ...]", and the Bun-only certFile, keyFile and
caFile options were not in the name. Requests that present different client
certificates then shared one pool name, one keep-alive connection and one
cached TLS session.

poolKeyPart() keeps Node's name for strings, Buffers, TypedArrays and
arrays of those. It keys a pfx entry the way Node's getPfxAgentKey() does
(nodejs/node 9f03017f38, CVE-2026-56850), keys a key entry by its pem, keys
an ArrayBuffer by its bytes, and keys every other object by identity.
certFile, keyFile and caFile are labelled parts at the end of the name.

Status

  • Reproduced on bun 1.4.3-canary: USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 bun test test/js/node/http/node-https-agent-getname.test.ts fails 15 of 17. Request B, configured with client certificate agent10, is answered as agent1 on request A's connection (reusedSocket: true), and with keepAlive: false on request A's resumed TLS session.
  • With this branch the same file passes 17 of 17 (bun bd test). The same file passes on Node v26.5.1 (5 run, 11 Bun-only cases skipped).

with a raw comma, preserving distinct keys for arrays such as ["a,b"] and ["a",
"b"]. Keep the existing recursive handling and separate PFX buf/passphrase

… the file paths

pfxPoolKey() now follows Node's getPfxAgentKey() element by element, so a
pfx array gives the same name as Node v26.5.1. The test asserts the exact
strings. certFile, keyFile and caFile go through JSON.stringify so that a
path cannot spell the next labelled part. A DataView is keyed by its bytes
like an ArrayBuffer.

Review follow-up, commits 86ab048 and d48ea2e.

  • pfx arrays: pfxPoolKey() now follows Node's getPfxAgentKey() element by element. The test asserts the literal names that Node v26.5.1 gives, for example ...:a:q:b:p... for pfx: [Buffer('a'), { buf: 'b', passphrase: 'p' }], passphrase: 'q'.
  • certFile, keyFile, caFile: the values go through JSON.stringify, so a path cannot spell the next labelled part. The test covers certFile: 'a":keyFile="b'.
  • DataView: keyed by its bytes, next to ArrayBuffer. In Bun this is live for pfx only. cert, key and ca reject a DataView.
  • Two comments are one line each now.
  • Not changed: the comma join for ca / cert / key / crl arrays. It is Node's own name format, the vendored upstream test asserts c,r,l, and this PR keeps every Node-valid name byte-identical. The reason is in the thread.

The test file: 14 of 14 on this branch, 12 of 14 fail on bun 1.4.3-canary, 5 pass and 8 skip on Node v26.5.1.

…he captured WeakMap methods

A request with allowPartialTrustChain: false shared a name with one that
set it, so it rode the pooled connection or resumed the cached TLS session
that the relaxed policy had verified. A truthy value is now a part of the
name. A strict request keeps Node's name.

The identity ids go through WeakMap.prototype.get and set captured at
module load, so a page that replaces them cannot make two objects share an
id.

Review follow-up, commit a74b10e.

  • allowPartialTrustChain: a truthy value appends :allowPartialTrustChain to the name. A strict request keeps Node's name. New test with the agent6 -> ca3 -> ca1 fixtures and a client that trusts ca3 only: after a relaxed request, the strict request fails with UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT for keepAlive: true and for keepAlive: false. bun 1.4.3-canary answers 200 to both.
  • Identity ids: WeakMap.prototype.get and set are captured at module load and called with .$call.

The test file: 17 of 17 on this branch, 15 of 17 fail on bun 1.4.3-canary, 5 pass and 11 skip on Node v26.5.1. All review threads are resolved.

… own checkServerIdentity (#42946)

### Problem
- An `https.Agent` lets a request use a connection that a different
identity check approved. Request 1 passes a permissive
`checkServerIdentity`, or none. Request 2 passes a rejecting one and
gets `200`. Its callback never runs.
- The cause is `Agent#getName()` (`src/js/node/https.ts:371`). The name
has no `checkServerIdentity` part. It keys the keep-alive pool,
`_sessionCache`, and the request queue. (#36131 since closed the
resumed-session part.)
- Node fixed this as CVE-2026-58040 (nodejs/node@52a8ace880).

### Fix
- Port of 52a8ace880. A request with its own `checkServerIdentity` gets
a unique Agent name and uses no cached session (nor Bun's
`establishTunnel` cache). An Agent-level callback still pools.
- Stricter than Node twice. `ClientRequest` marks the request, so
`http.request({ protocol: "https:", agent })` is covered. The Agent's
`'free'` handler refuses the socket, so agent-base style Agents are
covered.
- The unique name leaves the Agent's bookkeeping intact: no stale
`agent.sockets` entry, no dead queue head, no wait behind an idle socket
under `maxTotalSockets` (Notes).
- Verified:
`test/js/node/http/node-https-agent-checkserveridentity-reuse.test.ts`.
Main b8eacea fails 20 of 30. Node v26.5.1 passes the 21 it runs.

### Background
- `https.Agent` pools sockets in `freeSockets[name]`. `getName(options)`
builds `name` from host, port and TLS options.
- `_sessionCache` holds one TLS session per name. A new socket offers it
to skip the full handshake.
- `checkServerIdentity(hostname, cert)` is the certificate pinning hook.
It runs once per full handshake.
- Cost, as in Node: a full handshake per such request, and `maxSockets`
does not bound them. A callback on the Agent keeps reuse.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Repro.** One Agent, vendored `agent1` certificate. Request 2 carries
`checkServerIdentity: () => new Error("PIN MISMATCH")`.

```

The reverse direction and the queue have the same hole on stock bun. A
default-check request for `servername: "not-agent1"` gets `200` after a
permissive callback approved that name. With `maxSockets: 1`,
`Agent#removeSocket` makes the socket of a queued request from the
options of the socket that closed, so the queued request runs the
callback of the request ahead of it.

**The test file under each runtime.**

| runtime | pass | fail | skipped |
|---|---|---|---|
| this branch (debug build) | 30 | 0 | 0 |
| main b8eacea (has #36131), without this PR | 10 | 20 | 0 |
| bun canary c6b7fcb (before #36131) | 6 | 24 | 0 |
| node v26.5.1 (has 52a8ace880) | 21 | 0 | 8 (Bun-only) |
| node v26.3.0 (does not) | 5 | 0 | 24 |

The cases that pass everywhere are controls: an Agent-level callback and
a request that passes `tls.checkServerIdentity` itself still share the
socket or the session, and `agent.sockets` has its entry while a proxy
tunnel connects. The other cases are gated on the Node versions that
carry the fix (v22.23.2, v24.18.1, v26.5.1). Bun always runs them.

**Difference 1: where the socket is refused.** Node marks the socket in
`https.Agent`'s `createConnection` and refuses it in
`https.Agent#keepSocketAlive`. An `https.Agent` subclass that replaces
`createConnection`, and an `http.Agent` that borrows
`https.Agent#getName` (agent-base: https-proxy-agent,
socks-proxy-agent), get the unique name without the mark. Three requests
with their own callback on a `keepAlive` Agent:

```
                                              parked sockets after
                                              stock   straight port   node v26.5.1   this branch
https.Agent                                   1       0               0              0
http.Agent that borrows https getName         1       3               3              0
https.Agent that replaces createConnection    1       3               3              0
```

A parked socket under a unique name is never taken. It counts against
`maxTotalSockets` until the origin closes it. The request options are
what make the name unique, and `installListeners()` already hands them
to the `'free'` handler, so the handler reads the mark there. The socket
mark and the `keepSocketAlive` override of the upstream patch are then
not needed.

**Difference 2: where the mark is set.** Node sets it in
`https.request()`. `http.request({ protocol: "https:", agent })` and
`new http.ClientRequest()` reach the same Agent without it, and still
share on Node v26.5.1. Here the `ClientRequest` constructor sets it,
after it resolves the agent, so no route skips it.

**Difference 3: what a failed socket creation leaves behind.**
`Agent#addRequest` makes `this.sockets[name] = []` before a socket
exists, in Node and here. If no socket arrives (a refused proxy tunnel,
a `createConnection` that throws) nothing in Node removes the entry.
With one name per Agent that was one stale entry. With one name per
request it is one per failed request, and each key holds the PEM text of
`ca`, `cert` and `key`. Five refused tunnels: stock 1 entry, straight
port 5, node v26.5.1 5, this branch 0. The branch removes the empty
entry in the error path of both creation callbacks and around a
`createSocket()` that throws. A queued request whose socket could not be
made also leaves its queue. In Node it stays at the head until a socket
of its name frees. No socket ever has the name of such a request, and
`removeSocket()` only looks at the first queue, so every queue behind it
stopped for good. The same path now gives a `createConnection()` that
throws to the queued request. Before, and in Node, that is an uncaught
exception from a `'close'` handler.

**Difference 4: an idle socket gives up its slot.** `new https.Agent({
keepAlive: true, maxTotalSockets: 1 })`, one finished request, then a
request with its own callback. The pooled socket holds the only slot and
the new request cannot take it. Node v26.5.1 waits until the server
closes the idle socket. Stock bun reused the socket at once. Here
`addRequest()` destroys one idle socket when such a request has to
queue. No other request does this, so the rest of the scheduling is
Node's.

**The tunnel path.** `establishTunnel()` in Bun attaches the session
cache listeners to the tunneled socket. Upstream caches no session
there. Through an `https:` proxy the cached session is resumed, and on
stock bun request 2 gets `200` without its callback. Through an `http:`
proxy the session is cached and not resumed today (a bug in
`tls.connect({ socket, session })` that is tracked apart from this PR).
The branch caches no session for a marked request on either path.

**Costs in full.**
- `maxSockets` is a limit per name, so it does not bound these requests:
`maxSockets: 1` and 20 concurrent requests open 20 connections here and
on node v26.5.1, 1 on stock. `maxTotalSockets` still bounds them, to N+1
in one case that Node's Agent has for every pair of names: the `'free'`
handler pools a socket at the limit, and `removeSocket()` then makes a
socket for a queued request of another name.
- No Bun user reported this hole. The report that exists, #40308, asked
for more reuse with a callback on `fetch`, and #42692 (item B4) later
gave that reuse up for the same reason as this PR.

**Why Node's own regression test is not added.**
`test-https-agent-checkserveridentity-reuse.js` ends with
`second.socket.isSessionReused()` one promise hop after the response
`'end'` of a `Connection: close` request. Bun has destroyed that socket
by then (`Socket.prototype._final` ends in a `nextTick`, Node waits for
the shutdown callback), so the call reads `false`. The session is
resumed: the same call at `'response'` reads `true`. Files under
`test/js/node/test/parallel/` are not edited, so the file stays out. The
new test covers each of its cases, and it runs under Node.

**Other open PRs.**
- #36131 merged while this PR was open. It runs the identity check on
resumed sessions too, so on main the four plain `keepAlive: false` cases
of the new test already pass. The pooled socket, the queue, both proxy
paths and the bookkeeping cases still fail there (20 of 30). The session
rule of this PR stays: it keeps one cache entry per request out of the
100-entry `_sessionCache`, and it matches the upstream patch. The new
test passes 30 of 30 on this branch rebased over #36131.
- #42498 appends to the same tail of `getName()`. The second one to land
has a small text conflict. Both suffixes must stay, the per-request one
last.

**Suites.** 182 files of
`test/js/node/test/{parallel,sequential}/test-http*` that mention
agents, sockets or keep-alive, `test-tls-check-server-identity.js`,
`test-tls-client-resume*.js`, all of `node-http.test.ts` (159 pass),
`node-https-checkServerIdentity.test.ts`,
`node-http-agent-free-socket.test.ts`,
`node-http-agent-tls-options.test.mts`, `node-http-proxy-url.test.ts`.
Two vendored files fail on the debug build with and without this change,
and pass on the release canary: `test-https-timeout.js` (a 10 ms request
timeout never fires) and `test-http-agent-keepalive.js` (an assertion
behind a 1 ms timer).

**Review history.** A review of the first version (the straight port)
asked for four changes: no stale `agent.sockets` entries, a test through
an `https:` proxy, the full cost statement, and its execution findings
(the parked sockets above, the queue cases). The review on the PR then
found the `http.request()` route, the wait behind an idle socket, and
the dead queue head, and asked to keep Node's `agent.sockets` entry. All
are in this version. The `maxSockets` cost and the N+1 case are not
changed. It also named two unrelated Node security fixes that Bun lacks
(CVE-2026-48615, CVE-2026-48618). They are tracked apart from this PR.
