Problem

  • tls.connect(), https.request() and http2.connect() call checkServerIdentity with no receiver. Node passes its connect options. A strict mode callback throws TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'this.pin').
  • A sloppy mode callback gets globalThis. A guard such as if (this.pin && ...) then accepts a wrong pin.
  • Cause: onClientHandshake (src/js/node/net.ts:534) calls the callback bare. No affected user is known.

Fix

  • Call it with .$call(receiver, hostname, cert), as Node does (wrap.js:1671). The receiver is the connect options when they own the callback.
  • tls.connect(), https and http2 pass the copy from src/js/node/tls.ts:1642, which always owns it.
  • Verified: test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect-hostname-verification.test.ts, 10 new cases, 7 also under Node v26.3.0. Also ran the node-tls-connect, node-tls-cert and node-http2 suites.
  • Self-reviewed: 14 concerns raised, 13 addressed. Not taken: the call with no condition.

Background

Downsides

Notes

Repro (sloppy mode, fixtures from test/js/node/tls/fixtures)

const s = tls.connect({ host: "127.0.0.1", port, ca, pin: "P", checkServerIdentity(host, cert) {
  console.log("this.pin =", this.pin, "this.host =", this.host);
} });
tls.connect https.request
Node v26.3.0 this.pin = P this.host = 127.0.0.1 the same
Bun 1.4.3-canary.1+367d939d9 this.pin = undefined this.host = undefined the same
This branch this.pin = P this.host = 127.0.0.1 the same

A sloppy mode guard (if (this.pin && cert.subject.CN !== this.pin) return new Error("pin mismatch")) with a wrong pin: Node answers pin mismatch, Bun 1.4.3 answers secureConnect authorized=true, this branch answers pin mismatch.

How it was found

  • By a comparison of the call with Node's source. No issue, user or package is known that reads this in this callback.
  • Node calls the callback as a method in every release line that was checked. It does not document the receiver and has no test for it.
  • On a released version, options.checkServerIdentity = check.bind(options) or an arrow function that closes over the pin gives Node's result.

Measurements (release builds of 91c3182 and of this change on it, linux x64)

  • onClientHandshake bytecode, release: 172 -> 181 instructions, 858 -> 889 bytes. +1 get_by_id_direct, +3 jumps, +4 mov, +1 check_tdz, +0 calls, +0 allocating opcodes (BUN_JSC_dumpGeneratedBytecodes=1).
  • net.js builtin source: +170 bytes (99,707 -> 99,877). Release binary text: +170 bytes (80,661,004 -> 80,661,174), all in .bun_builtins. .text, data and bss are equal (wc -c, size).
  • Allocating opcodes added per handshake: 0. Retained objects per socket pair: 54.49 to 54.52 (base) against 54.52 to 54.53 (this change), 3 runs each. Own symbol keys on a TLSSocket: 24 against 24 (heapStats, N=1000).
  • Syscalls for 200 handshakes, client process only: socket 200, connect 200, sendto 400, recvfrom 200, close 224, setsockopt 400, epoll_ctl 602 on both builds, delta 0, 3 runs each, with and without a callback. futex and epoll_pwait2 change from run to run on both builds. strace has no install candidate here, so the counter is a ptrace loop of 100 lines.
  • instructions:u per handshake: not measured. perf_event_open is not permitted in the container (perf_event_paranoid is 4) and valgrind has no install candidate. The bytecode count above is the cost.
  • For a callback in the options of tls.connect(), https.request(), https.get(), new https.Agent() and http2.connect(), the receiver equals Node's in these points: it is a copy, it owns the callback, it has the keys of the caller, and its prototype is Object.prototype. Measured on 7 call forms, on IP hosts.
  • Key-set differences left (node:tls: the connect options lack minDHSize, singleUse and the http2 servername #44144): no minDHSize, no singleUse, ALPNProtocols is a Buffer, http2.connect() to a hostname has no servername and lacks 5 default keys, and a per-request https callback adds 1 internal symbol key.

Orders on which Node never runs the identity check

  • Node runs the check for a socket from tls.connect() only, and not for a resumed session. Bun also runs it after new tls.TLSSocket(options).connect(), after a second connect(), and for a resumed session.
  • After TLSSocket#connect() the callback can come from the constructor options. The options of connect() then do not own it, and the callback gets no this, as on main.
  • Against main, with a strict mode callback that reads this.pin (3 orders, 2 callback shapes, 3 pins): 0 of 18 verdicts change. new tls.TLSSocket().connect({ checkServerIdentity, pin }) receiver: undefined -> the options of connect().
  • The second version of this pull request passed the options of connect() in every case. In the 18 rows it gave authorized=true for a guard callback (if (this.pin && ...)) with each pin, because this.pin was undefined. Main throws a TypeError there, and secureConnect does not fire.
  • That TypeError is not a clean refusal: the socket stays open, and a write that the program issued before reaches the server. This pull request does not change that.
  • The condition reads an own property ($getByIdDirect) and compares it with the function that runs. Two of the new cases fail when the condition is removed, and when it only tests that the key is present.

What the callback can write

Tests

  • Fail-before: a debug build with src/ from main fails the 10 new cases. This branch passes all 21 cases of the file.
  • The cases: tls.connect() to an IP address, to a hostname and over a socket (the three places that store the connect options), https.request(), http2.connect(), a strict mode method that compares with this.pin, a sloppy mode guard, a resumed session, and two cases for TLSSocket#connect().
  • 7 cases pass under Node v26.3.0 from the same source. The other 3 are orders on which Node does not call the callback.
  • All new cases are in one file that starts no child process. node-http2.test.js, node-tls-connect.test.ts and node-https-checkServerIdentity.test.ts have subprocess cases that pass the 5 s limit on a loaded debug build, with and without this change (test(http2): give the detached-payload subprocess cases a debug-scaled timeout #38078 covers the http2 ones).
  • Windows x64: the first version of the tests passed on a debug build (30 of 30). The cases that stay are a subset of them.

Status

Pull request: #44085. It is ready for a maintainer.

CI

The change is green. Each of the three builds has one failed job, on debian 13 x64-asan, with a test that this change does not touch.

Build Jobs Failed test
121300 181 of 182 passed test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.test.ts
121307 180 of 181 passed test/js/web/timers/setTimeout.test.js
121351 180 of 181 passed test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.test.ts

The cause is the same in the three builds. A child process of the test prints a LeakSanitizer warning, and the test asserts that the stderr of the child is empty:

==37408==WARNING: ptrace appears to be blocked (is seccomp enabled?). LeakSanitizer may hang.
==37408==Child exited with signal 42.

The two tests use Bun.spawn and timers. They do not open a TLS connection. The three latest builds of main (121085, 121119, 121139) passed.

test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect-hostname-verification.test.ts ran and passed on 11 lanes of build 121307: Linux x64 and aarch64 (debian, ubuntu, alpine), x64-asan, Windows x64 and aarch64, macOS x64 and aarch64.

How I reproduced it

  1. Save the script as probe.cjs in the repository root.
  2. Run node probe.cjs, then bun probe.cjs.
const tls = require("node:tls");
const https = require("node:https");
const fs = require("node:fs");
const dir = "test/js/node/tls/fixtures/";
const key = fs.readFileSync(dir + "agent1-key.pem");
const cert = fs.readFileSync(dir + "agent1-cert.pem");
const ca = fs.readFileSync(dir + "ca1-cert.pem");
const server = https.createServer({ key, cert }, (req, res) => res.end("ok")).listen(0, "127.0.0.1", () => {
  const port = server.address().port;
  const checkServerIdentity = function (host, cert) {
    console.log("this.pin =", this.pin, "this.host =", this.host);
  };
  const socket = tls.connect({ host: "127.0.0.1", port, ca, pin: "P", checkServerIdentity }, () => {
    socket.destroy();
    const request = https.request({ host: "127.0.0.1", port, ca, pin: "P", agent: false, checkServerIdentity }, res => {
      res.resume();
      res.on("end", () => server.close());
    });
    request.end();
  });
});
Runtime Output, two times
Node v26.3.0 this.pin = P this.host = 127.0.0.1
Bun 1.4.3-canary.1+367d939d9 this.pin = undefined this.host = undefined
This branch this.pin = P this.host = 127.0.0.1

Node calls options.checkServerIdentity(hostname, cert) as a method of the
options object that tls.connect() builds. onClientHandshake destructured
the callback and called it with no receiver, so `this` was undefined in
strict mode and globalThis in sloppy mode. A sloppy mode callback that
guards on `this.pin` skipped its check and accepted a wrong pin.

The receiver is now the connect options of the socket. https and http2
clients get their socket from tls.connect() and reach the same call.

Walkthrough

The TLS client handshake now selects the checkServerIdentity receiver based on whether the connection options directly own that callback. Tests cover TLS, HTTPS, and HTTP/2 connections, certificate pin checks, TLS session resumption, and TLSSocket#connect().

Changes

TLS identity callback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Select the identity callback receiver
src/js/node/net.ts
The handshake uses the connection options as the callback receiver when they directly own the same checkServerIdentity function. Otherwise, it uses undefined. The hostname and certificate arguments remain unchanged.
Verify receiver behavior across TLS APIs
test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect-hostname-verification.test.ts
Tests cover receiver behavior across TLS, HTTPS, HTTP/2, and TLSSocket#connect(). They also cover certificate pin checks and TLS 1.2 session resumption.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f1060

The TLS receiver change appears mergeable: the inspected connection paths preserve callback arguments and error handling, and the test-helper listener issue is resolved.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked whether the receiver at src/js/node/net.ts:541 can be undefined: all three paths that start a TLS handshake (Socket#connect, the single-address connect, and the autoSelectFamily path via context.options) store kConnectOptions before the handshake, so $call never falls back to the bare-call behavior on the tls.connect() route.

Extended reasoning...

One-line change in src/js/node/net.ts invoking the user checkServerIdentity callback with the connect options as the receiver, plus 174 lines of new tests; it touches the TLS identity-verification path, which is security-sensitive. Two confirmed inline findings (receiver mismatch on the new tls.TLSSocket(opts).connect() path and Node's post-callback rejectUnauthorized read not being mirrored) already signal that a human should weigh the change; this note only records the undefined-receiver concern that was ruled out.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

  • 🟡 src/js/node/net.ts — A callback written for Node that sets this.rejectUnauthorized = true (or false) inside checkServerIdentity is now silently ignored by Bun, where on the base branch it threw and was visible. Node reads options.rejectUnauthorized after the callback returns (wrap.js:1676), so a callback can escalate a pin mismatch into a refusal on a socket created with rejectUnauthorized:false. Bun decides at src/js/node/net.ts:545 and net.ts:549 from self._rejectUnauthorized, which the receiver write never touches, so the socket stays open and emits secureConnect with authorized=false. Fix: read options.rejectUnauthorized from the same receiver object after the callback at net.ts:545/549, matching Node, or document that the receiver is read-only.

    Why this was flagged

    The change hands the connect options as this at net.ts:541, which makes Node-style receiver mutation reachable for the first time: on base this was undefined so any this.rejectUnauthorized = ... threw a TypeError and reached reportError at net.ts:574. Now the write lands on the options copy from tls.ts:1642 and nothing reads it back. Node's onConnectSecure checks options.rejectUnauthorized after options.checkServerIdentity(...) returns (https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v26.3.0/lib/internal/tls/wrap.js#L1676), so a callback that returns an Error and sets this.rejectUnauthorized = true on a rejectUnauthorized:false socket gets a destroy() on Node. Bun evaluates self._rejectUnauthorized at net.ts:545 and again at net.ts:549, values fixed at connect time by applyRejectUnauthorized, so the same callback yields secureConnect with authorized=false and a live, writable socket. Population: any code ported from Node that relied on the receiver being the live options object; the dismissal called it pre-existing, but the receiver was unusable before this PR so the divergence is…

    Verification: nit — acknowledged in diff: the PR description itself states "this.rejectUnauthorized = false inside the callback does not relax the verdict. Bun reads the value it took at connect time. Node reads the receiver after the callback." The note is accurate but only names the relaxing direction; the escalating direction (rejectUnauthorized:false socket + callback sets `this.rejectUnauthorized =…

Comment thread src/js/node/net.ts Outdated
After TLSSocket#connect() the callback can come from the constructor
options, which Bun did not keep. With the options of connect() as `this`,
a strict mode callback that guards on `this.pin` read no pin and accepted
every certificate, where it threw before. Node runs no identity check on
these orders.

The receiver is now the connect options when they own the callback. That
is every socket from tls.connect(). In the other case `this` is undefined,
as it was.

Answers to the two findings of the review of ed2715a.

The receiver after new tls.TLSSocket(options).connect() (inline, src/js/node/net.ts:541)

Confirmed and changed in 2c29e6d. The receiver is the connect options only when they own the callback. With a callback from the constructor options, this is undefined, as on main. The details are in the thread.

this.rejectUnauthorized written in the callback (optional)

Confirmed in the two directions. The callback returns an Error and writes the property:

rejectUnauthorized option The callback writes Node v26.3.0 This branch
true false secureConnect authorized=false error: refused
false true error: refused secureConnect authorized=false
  • This pull request does not change it. The verdict in onClientHandshake reads self._rejectUnauthorized, which is set at connect time, as on main.
  • A read of options.rejectUnauthorized after the callback also lets a callback relax the check (the first row). That changes when Bun refuses a server, so it needs a decision of a maintainer. It is tracked in node:tls: a write to this.rejectUnauthorized in checkServerIdentity does not change the verdict #44148 with the script for the table.
  • The Notes of the description now state the two directions.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Commit 2c29e6d addresses the TLSSocket#connect() fail-open I raised earlier: with the receiver gated on $getByIdDirect(options, "checkServerIdentity") === checkServerIdentity, that path gets this === undefined again, same as the base branch. Beyond the inline finding, I also checked that options at src/js/node/net.ts:542 is always an object (all three kConnectOptions writers take the output of normalizeArgs, which never yields a primitive) and that the tls.ts:1642 copy owns the callback, so tls.connect/https/http2 always hit the options branch. One nit: the PR description's "Considered" and "Downsides" bullets still describe the pre-2c29e6d1 behavior (this being the connect() options after new tls.TLSSocket(options).connect()), which the code and the second describe block now contradict.

Extended reasoning...

The change is five lines in onClientHandshake (src/js/node/net.ts:541-545), a TLS security gate, plus two new node:test describe blocks; the second commit reverted the unconditional receiver to one gated on own-property identity, which restores base-branch behavior on the constructor-options path. Since it touches certificate verification, a human look is still warranted despite the small size.

Comment thread test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect-hostname-verification.test.ts
The helpers waited for 'secureConnect' or 'error' only. A socket that
closes with no error left a case pending until the time limit of the
runner.

Answers to the review of 2c29e6d.

The description (nit)

The description was updated after the push of 2c29e6d, and it now describes the condition. The two bullets read:

  • Background: "Considered: always pass the options of connect(). A strict mode pin guard from the constructor then accepts every certificate."
  • Background: "Bun also runs it after new tls.TLSSocket(options).connect(), and keeps only the function of those options. this stays undefined."

Downsides has no bullet about TLSSocket#connect() now, because that order behaves as on main. The Notes section "Orders on which Node never runs the identity check" keeps the account of the version without the condition.

The test helpers (optional, inline)

Changed in f0b350c. Each wait in the new cases now settles on 'error' and on 'close' also. The details are in the thread.

I re-reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; the two points raised on earlier versions are addressed by the ownership condition in src/js/node/net.ts:541-544 and by the close-settling helpers in the test. Because this changes how the certificate-identity callback runs in the TLS client handshake, a human maintainer's look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • All three kConnectOptions assignment sites (Socket.prototype.connect, internalConnect, internalConnectMultiple) store the same object whose checkServerIdentity is copied into bunTLSConnectOptions, so the own-property identity check picks the right receiver on every path; normalizeArgs always yields a non-null object, so $getByIdDirect never sees a primitive.
  • tls.connect() builds connectOptions with checkServerIdentity as an own key, so https.request/http2.connect get the copy as this, matching Node; the constructor-owned callback after TLSSocket#connect() still gets undefined, so a this.pin guard cannot fall open.
  • This is the only call site of the callback under src/js/; no sibling was missed.
Extended reasoning...

The diff replaces a bare checkServerIdentity(hostname, cert) call in onClientHandshake (src/js/node/net.ts) with .$call(receiver, ...), where the receiver is the connect-options object only when its own checkServerIdentity property is the function being run, and adds ~215 lines of node:test cases covering tls.connect, https, http2, session resumption and TLSSocket#connect orders. It touches the TLS client certificate-identity verification path, which decides whether a peer certificate is accepted, so it is security-sensitive even though the production change is five lines. Both inline findings from earlier runs were addressed by commits 2c29e6d and f0b350c, no third-party objections are outstanding, and no CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files. The small size and consistent option-ownership across all three connect paths argue for correctness; the security-sensitive surface and the inability to run the tests here (no local build, test execution not permitted) are why this is a defer rather than an approve.

The 'error' listener of eventOf() stayed on the emitter after the event
came. An error after that was taken by the listener and was lost.

The finding on eventOf() in the test file is correct. 53c60fd removes the listeners of the helpers when they settle. The details are in the thread.

The change is in the test file only. src/js/node/net.ts is as it was in 2c29e6d.

I re-reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; the two points I raised earlier (the pin guard falling open after TLSSocket#connect(), and the helpers hanging on close) are addressed in the code by 2c29e6d and f0b350c. Because this changes how the TLS identity-check callback is invoked, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • The receiver condition at src/js/node/net.ts:541-545: kConnectOptions is always the object from normalizeArgs (or the tls.connect copy that owns the callback), so $getByIdDirect never sees a non-object, and { checkServerIdentity: undefined } on connect options correctly yields an undefined receiver.
  • The three assignment sites of kConnectOptions / bunTLSConnectOptions (net.ts:2170-2194, 3326-3337, 3477-3488) all pair the same way, so no order reaches the handshake with one set and not the other.
  • The new assertions are live on the unfixed code: an undefined receiver produces pin: undefined, ownsCallback: false, which fails deepStrictEqual against connectOptions(...).
  • Ruled out: the resumed-session test can leak its first socket if 'session' never fires — only on an already-failing run, so a nit at most.
Extended reasoning...

The diff touches one function in src/js/node/net.ts (onClientHandshake), computing a receiver for the user-supplied checkServerIdentity callback and invoking it via $call, plus about 225 lines of new tests in test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect-hostname-verification.test.ts. This is a TLS certificate-identity verification path, so it is security-sensitive by the approval guidelines even though the change is small and its semantics (own-property check against the function that runs, undefined otherwise) are sound. Both of my prior inline findings are addressed in the code rather than only author-resolved, and the final commit changes only test listener cleanup. No local build was available to execute the suite, so the fail-before property was checked by reading the assertions. The security-sensitive surface and the deliberate divergences from Node (running the check on resumed sessions and after TLSSocket#connect()) are what decided defer over approve.

I am here. The pull request is complete and waits for a review.

State

  • The change is 6 lines in src/js/node/net.ts and 10 new cases in test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect-hostname-verification.test.ts.
  • The 3 review threads are answered and resolved.
  • The changed test file passed on the 11 CI lanes that ran it (Linux, x64-asan, Windows, macOS).

CI

Builds 121300 and 121307 each have one failed job, on debian 13 x64-asan. This change does not touch the failed tests, and each test passed in the other build:

  • test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.test.ts (build 121300)
  • test/js/web/timers/setTimeout.test.js (build 121307, LeakSanitizer: ptrace appears to be blocked)

I pushed f10600e, an empty commit, to run CI one more time.

### What does this PR do?

Consolidates the open TLS pull requests into one. Each was reproduced on
`main` and, for `node:*` behavior, on Node v26.3.0 first. About a third
are ported as written, the rest are rewritten smaller or merged into one
fix where several PRs patched the same cause. One commit per fix, so it
can be read commit by commit.

Fixes #43520, fixes #31396, fixes #43635, fixes #37193, fixes #43846,
fixes #17932, fixes #41061, fixes #36887, fixes #31810, fixes #35240,
fixes #32234, fixes #44365, fixes #43807, fixes #42280, fixes #44517.
Addresses #41856 (SNI and `servername`; not `checkServerIdentity` for
SQL), #24845 (the spin is gone, shown with fault injection on Linux; not
run on macOS), #19754 (node-fetch forwards the agent's TLS options; the
Kubernetes client itself was not run).

#### The ones that matter most

| | On `main` | PRs |
|---|---|---|
| Client certificate disclosure | `https.request()` with a client
certificate sends it to a server it then refuses (wrong name,
`checkServerIdentity`, `destroy()` in `'secureConnect'`, `terminate()`
in `handshake`). A server can force it with a junk record behind its
Finished | #43946 |
| False `authorized` | Over a Duplex, `secureConnect` with `authorized
=== true` for a peer that failed the key proof; `secureConnect` for a
plaintext peer with `rejectUnauthorized: false` | #44422, #32929 |
| Cleartext https | `https.createServer()` without a usable key/cert
answers plain HTTP | #41672, #33539 |
| Revoked client certificates | An https mTLS server never sees `crl`,
so a revoked client is `authorized` | #41641 |
| Pooled sockets | Requests with different client certificates or CAs
share an `https.Agent` socket and session | #42498 |
| Silent plaintext | `tls: [...]` given to `Bun.listen` / `Bun.connect`
is plain TCP | #41490 |
| Server weakened by a client knob | `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0`
turns off a server's client-certificate enforcement | #35245 |
| Pins never checked | `WebSocket` never calls `tls.checkServerIdentity`
and ignores `tls.serverName` | #41648 |
| `verify-full` dropped | `PGSSLMODE=verify-*` is lost next to a `TLS_*`
URL variable; `tls: true` sends no SNI | #44498 |
| Crashes | use-after-free from `destroy()` in `ALPNCallback` over a
Duplex; `abort()` on a late `setSession()`; SIGABRT in `fetch` with an
https proxy from the environment and a `Bun.file()` body | #44462,
#41671, #44458 |
| Stream corruption | A TLS `write()` can lose 16 KiB it reported as
written while another socket on the loop is stalled | #44529 |
| Hangs and spins | 100% CPU on a failing `send()`; a fatal `SSL_write`
leaves the socket open forever; `idleTimeout` never sheds a TLS client
that ignores `close_notify` | #34510, #38176, #42336 |
| Wrong certificate (regression since 1.3.14) | Connections accepted
before `stop()` / `close()` get the default certificate and skip their
entry's `requestCert` / `ca` | #42355 |
| Quadratic Duplex / proxy tunnel | Reading one chunk over a Duplex,
CPU: 8 MB 0.88 s → 0.14 s, 16 MB 3.18 s → 0.23 s, 32 MB 11.75 s → 0.39
s; `fetch` upload through CONNECT: 1.7 s → 0.18 s (debug build) | #44464
|

#### By area

- **fd engine, write path** (`openssl.c`, `socket.c`): #42352, #34510 +
#38176 + #42336 as one change, #44529, #44458, #44192. A rejected
`send()` ends the write side only and closes at the next writable event
unless the peer's bytes are still queued (a 413 sent before a reset is
still read). No new per-socket state. Also, on kqueue, **a FIN no longer
ends a socket that waits in the low-priority queue** (`loop.c`): with
more than 5 TLS handshakes at once, a client that ended right after its
handshake could be reset and its server socket report `socket hang up`,
because the eof that the sentinel read knote reports was acted on ahead
of the unread Finished. That is on `main` too (the macOS entry for
`node-tls-server.test.ts` in `test/flaky-tests.txt`: 7 of 48 recent
builds of other branches), and this branch made it likelier (6 of 8
builds), since Finished now leaves in one segment with the close_notify.
- **Error reporting, both engines**: #44422, #32929, #44516, #37094,
#41272 + #42324 + #44223 as one change, #44021, #37472, #43946, #33630.
One channel: a fatal error on an established session is reported, then
**the engine closes the connection itself**, whatever the owner does
with the report. `test/js/bun/net/tls-fatal-error-closes.test.ts`
asserts closed-and-nothing-delivered for every owner (node:tls,
`Bun.connect`, `Bun.listen`, `fetch` direct and through CONNECT,
`Bun.serve`, `WebSocket` direct and through a proxy, Postgres, MySQL,
Valkey, Duplex).
- **Duplex engine** (`SSLWrapper`, `UpgradedDuplex`): #44462, #43529,
#42332, #44464. #43877 + #44394 were in and are **out again**, see
"Worth a look" 5.
- **node:tls wrap lifecycle** (`net.ts`, `tls.ts`): #38007, #38058,
#38028 + #38122 + #38076 as one change (six copies of the attach code
become two helpers), #38311, #39008, #38154, #42340 + #42343 + #42339 +
#42453 as one change, #43791, #42425, #44085, #42683, #39088, #39040,
#40375, and what was still real of #36534.
- **SNI, ALPN, server contexts**: #43080, #42050, #37195 + #43849 as one
change (**one** SNI matcher for TCP and HTTP/3), #42355, #42285, #33253,
part of #37896, part of #37013. A `tls.Server` has one `SSL_CTX`.
- **Verification and options**: #44738, #41490, #37005 + the cwd pin of
#40984, #31811, #43982, #33483 + #35245, #41810, #32235, #44441, #38092.
- **node:tls API and CA store**: #41671, #38145, #32824, #43594, #39997,
#41696, #33534, #34748, #42991, #42996, #42970.
- **node:https, Agent, `ws`, node-fetch**: #41672 (https half), #41641,
#38261, #42498, #44346, #35609, #31397, #42325.
- **WebSocket client**: #41648, #37487 + #43048 as one change.
- **SQL, Redis**: #33666, #41711, #44498, part of #42054.
- **Tests only**: #41426, #40040, #44395, #44016, #37860, #40591,
#44440, #41424.

Found on the way and fixed here: an upload that a TLS 1.2 server
interrupts with a renegotiation never completes on `main` (0 of 32 runs
over `https.request`, `fetch`, `node:tls` and `Bun.connect`: the
renegotiation ClientHello lands inside an application record that is
still unsent, or the socket gets no `drain` again) and completes here,
with two tests from robobun; the fix for #40653 (final flight and first
write in one segment) stopped working whenever another TLS socket on the
loop was stalled, on `main` too; the `tls.Server` prototype pinned the
last server constructed and every `SSL_CTX` it owned;
`Object.create(process.env).NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0"` turned
verification off process-wide once a `SHARE_ENV` worker existed; two
debug panics when wrapping a shut-down or still-connecting socket; a
`fetch` POST through a proxy sent its headers twice when the origin
renegotiated; `BlockList` ignored IPv6 zone ids; a test now ties
`root_certs.der` to `certdata.txt`.

#### Behavior changes

- **A server's `ca` without `requestCert` no longer asks for a client
certificate** (`Bun.serve`, `Bun.listen`, HTTP/3, node:tls). It matches
the docs and Node. On `main` such a server refused clients with no
certificate but served any unrelated self-signed one, so it was never
authentication. **Set `requestCert: true` to require a certificate.** A
matrix test pins that `requestCert: true` still refuses no certificate
and an untrusted one on 8 kinds of server, TLS 1.2 and 1.3, with
`NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED` unset and `0`.
- `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0` no longer relaxes a server.
- `Bun.connect` / `Bun.listen` hear of a fatal TLS error after the
handshake through `error(socket, err)`. With no `error` handler the
socket just closes.
- HTTP/3 server names match like TCP: `*.` covers exactly one label,
case is ignored, a trailing dot is ignored, the last registration of a
name wins.
- `requestCert` on node:https is `=== true`, as in Node.
- An array where a generated options dictionary is expected throws
(`tls: []`, `jest.useFakeTimers([])`).
- `key` / `cert` arrays serve every identity. A client that can use both
gets ECDSA, where `main` served whichever pair came last.
- `ecdhCurve` is forwarded by node:https, `ws` and node-fetch now, so a
group BoringSSL lacks (`X448`) throws there as it already does in
`tls.createServer`.
- A wrapped socket's error is re-emitted on the TLS socket as in Node,
so `raw.destroy(err)` with a listener on `raw` only is uncaught, as in
Node.
- `sql.options.tls` is always an object, never `true`. `RedisClient`
sends SNI.
- `tls: { secureContext }` alone asks for TLS on `Bun.listen` /
`Bun.connect` (it was plain TCP), and a value that is not a
`SecureContext` throws. The context is served as it is: the
`requestCert` / `rejectUnauthorized` it was created with hold whatever
the options next to it say, and `requestCert` in the options over a
context that does not ask throws at `listen()`.
- `tls.DEFAULT_CIPHERS` reaches every client once assigned (`fetch`,
`WebSocket`, `Bun.connect`, `RedisClient`, `Bun.SQL`, `S3Client`, proxy
tunnels) and servers again. A list that selects no cipher throws
`ERR_SSL_NO_CIPHER_MATCH` at the assignment. `fetch.preconnect()` dials
nothing after an assignment.
- The warning for an unreadable `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` is Node's one
line, without the `warn:` prefix.
- `BUN_CONFIG_WS_CLOSE_TIMEOUT` (default 30 s): how long a `WebSocket`
client waits for the server to close the connection after the closing
handshake.

#### Worth a look in review

1. **#44529**: the kernel-refused remainder of a TLS write moves from
the loop's one slot onto the connection (in the existing rare struct),
so the write BIO never refuses a sealed record. Nothing is allocated on
an unstalled path (200 writes: 0 appends, same `send()` count as
`main`), memory with 16 stalled writers is lower than on `main` (276 KB
vs 340 KB, which `main` holds inside BoringSSL's buffers), `us_socket_t`
stays 80 bytes. It needs a bound on how long a deferred close waits, or
a peer that stops reading pins the fd past `destroy()`:
`US_SSL_CLOSE_AFTER_SPILL_TIMEOUT` is a fixed 10 s, not re-armed on
progress. Separate commits, but the fix that keeps the client
certificate off the wire beside a stalled socket builds on them.
2. **The default name check of node:tls also runs inside the
handshake**, so a wrong-name server gets no client certificate on TLS
1.2 either. JS still runs it after every successful handshake, so a
difference between the two matchers can only refuse. Error objects are
byte-identical.
3. **#44441** widens trust by design: a self-issued leaf whose
`keyUsage` lacks `keyCertSign` (`dotnet dev-certs`) is its own anchor
when the store holds a byte-identical copy. No BoringSSL change. Expired
pin, same subject with another key, wrong EKU and a pinned intermediate
are tested to fail.
4. **#32235** only adds Ed25519 and ECDSA P-521 to the verify list. A
captured ClientHello shows `main`'s list with the two inserted;
`rsa_pkcs1_sha1` stays.

5. **A stream that a TLS socket wraps, when that TLS socket closes.** An
earlier state of this branch lost data here while CI was green (found by
#44709's report): with the peer closing first, 4 of 8 MiB arrived with
TLS in TLS, 4 of 32 MiB on the http2 `emit("connection")` path, and a
`write()` with no `'error'` listener ended the process. Three
Node-parity changes only hold together: destroying the wrapped stream at
the close (#38028 + #38122 + #38076, #38154) is safe only if every write
has really completed (#43877), which in turn needs Node's handling of
the peer's close_notify, which needs half-open sockets that the GC can
collect. So:
- #43877 + #44394 are reverted and reopened. A write over a stream
completes once the stream has taken the ciphertext, as on `main`.
- Until the verdict on the peer lets the session through, the
application cannot have written over it. There the wrapped stream is
destroyed as in Node, with the sessions below it. That keeps the release
of the connection after a failed handshake, a rejected certificate and
an early `destroy()`. The same for an http2 socket the application never
got, and for `resetAndDestroy()`.
- After that it is `main`'s teardown: a `net.Socket` only gets the
engine's `end()`, closes at its peer's FIN, keeps its own timeout and
reports its own errors. Any other stream is destroyed with the TLS
socket.

The regular suites cannot see any of this (999 files were green on every
broken variant), so it was steered by eleven seeded differential fuzzers
run on this build, `main`, Node v26.3.0 and the earlier state: close,
`end()`, `destroy()`, `destroySoon()`, resets, hung and half-open peers,
paused writers, timeouts, two and three sessions deep, over TCP and over
Duplexes, before, at and after the handshake, and http2 requests. See
"How did you verify".

#### Known limits

- `fetch` with a `checkServerIdentity` function still sends the client
certificate (not the request) to a server the function refuses. On TLS
1.2 any verdict a JS callback gives is too late, as in Node.
- `addContext()` / `SNICallback` still do not apply to a server-side
socket on the stream engine (`emit("connection", duplex)`, TLS in TLS,
unflushed writes, named pipes), as on `main`.
- A CA bundled in a pfx extends an explicit `ca` only, for `ws` /
node-fetch / `WebSocket`: the native `ca` can only replace the default
store, and that store keeps `SSL_CERT_FILE` / `SSL_CERT_DIR`.
- P-521 leaves work on TLS 1.3 only. TLS 1.2 needs secp521r1 in every
ClientHello (`it.todo`).
- Once `tls.DEFAULT_CIPHERS` is assigned, `fetch(url, { protocol:
"http3" })` is `HTTP3Unsupported`, as with an explicit `ciphers`.
- `addCACert()` by hand does not extend the chains of a context with
several identities.
- A throwing `ALPNCallback` sends `no_application_protocol` on both
engines. Node sends nothing and its client sees `ECONNRESET`.
- TLS in TLS, peer FIN while the outer handshake runs: the inner socket
gets one `write EPIPE`, where Node gives `ECONNRESET` (`main` gives it
no error at all).
- `@SECLEVEL` in `ciphers` is dropped by the `ws` / node-fetch shims,
which used to ignore `ciphers`. node:tls keeps throwing
`ERR_SSL_INVALID_COMMAND`.
- Beside a stalled TLS socket only the first record (16 KiB) of the
first write leaves with the handshake flight. The rest goes record by
record, which is what bounds the memory of stalled writers.
- After a fatal error on an established session the socket emits
`'error'` and then `'close'`. Node emits `'error'` and leaves the socket
open.
- A paused reader whose own write the kernel rejects loses what it had
not read yet, with an `EPIPE`, as on Node. `main` reports no error there
and delivers it.
- On `main` too: a `Bun.listen` socket without `allowHalfOpen` that has
unsent ciphertext when the client's `shutdown()` arrives loses that
ciphertext (32 KiB), and over plain TCP `end()` with the peer still
sending is a close over unread input, so a reset.
- Differences from both `main` and Node that the differential runs below
found and that stay, all with a peer that aborts: `ECONNRESET` instead
of a clean `'end'` after the socket's own `'finish'` when the peer
destroyed with unread data; under TLS 1.2, a zero-length `write()`
followed by `destroy()` in `'secureConnection'` leaves the client
without `'secureConnect'` (a plain `destroy()` there matches Node); a
TLS 1.2 client that destroys in `'secureConnect'` gets no `'session'`; a
`ClientRequest` whose handshake fails with an alert emits `'error'` and
`'close'` but no `'finish'` (`writableFinished` is true).
- Once `tls.DEFAULT_CIPHERS` is assigned, `fetch.preconnect()` opens
nothing: `fetch()` then uses a context of its own, and a socket warmed
under the default one would never be picked up.
- A TLS `send()` that the kernel refuses outside a `write()` call (the
drain of unsent ciphertext) is reported with the close, as `read EPIPE`
/ `read ECONNRESET`. Node says `write EPIPE`. `main` does not report it
at all.
- Once the application has a session over a `net.Socket` (TLS in TLS,
http2 `emit("connection")`), a peer that never sends its FIN holds that
socket after the TLS socket closed, as on `main`. Node destroys it. Two
tests of #38154 are `todo` for this. Closing it any earlier (at its
`'finish'`, say) makes the kernel drop what it has not sent yet as soon
as the peer's close_notify arrives.
- Plaintext that was queued on a socket before it was wrapped (STARTTLS
with a backlog) is dropped when the TLS socket is destroyed, or its
handshake fails, before the session is accepted. Node drops it too,
except on `destroySoon()`. `main` sends it.
- Over a stream that is no `net.Socket`, `end()` can still cut what that
stream has buffered, and there is no backpressure, both as on `main`
(#43877).
- `tls.secureContext` (the undocumented door node:tls uses) is not read
by a Windows named pipe listener, which builds its context from the
options. On `upgradeTLS({ isServer: true })` the options next to it are
the policy, as with Node's `SetVerifyMode`.
- `selectServerName()` rebuilds the name tree per ClientHello for
injected sockets of a server with `addContext()` entries: 0.4 µs for 1
entry, 3.7 µs for 10, 41 µs for 100, against 631–1111 µs for a
handshake.

`http.createServer({ key, cert })` keeps serving TLS on purpose.

One open question: `tls: {}` (an object that names no TLS option) is
plain TCP on `Bun.listen` / `Bun.connect`, here and on `main`. It is the
same trap as `tls: []`, but changing it changes a Bun default, so it is
left alone.

### How did you verify your code works?

- Every new test fails on `main` for the stated reason and passes here,
except guards that pin existing behavior, each shown to fail when its
clause is removed. `node:*` tests also pass on Node v26.3.0; the few
that cannot say which Node version has the behavior.
- 212 test files that touch TLS, sockets, http, http2, fetch, WebSocket,
SQL, Valkey and workers: 6154 pass, 2 fail. Both are seen on `main` too:
`serve.test.ts` "root range port" (the box runs as root), and
`worker_threads.test.ts` "terminate(): nothing of the worker's runs
after the request", which is flaky there and passed in the run below.
- 58 of those files the way the ASAN lane runs them (LeakSanitizer +
`BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks`): 58 files, 48 of them with leak
checking, 4132 pass, 3 fail. All three also fail on `main`:
`serve.test.ts` "root range port", `node-net.test.ts` "should not leak
when connect({path}) fails synchronously on a reused handle" (times out
under this environment), `worker_threads.test.ts` "process.exit() with a
shell cp in flight" (a `ShellCpTask` leak).
- 647 vendored `test-tls-*`, `test-https-*`, `test-net-*`,
`test-http2-*`: the only two failures also fail on `main`.
- The SNI matcher was diffed against both old matchers: 3 seeds × 1.23 M
lookups × 3 registration flavours, every difference in one of the
intended classes, TCP and HTTP/3 identical on every lookup.
- The headline rows were also driven by hand with scripts against this
build, `main` and Node v26.3.0: cleartext https, `crl`, `tls: []` / `{
secureContext }`, the `ca` / `requestCert` matrix, the client
certificate on a wrong-name server, late `setSession()`, `destroy()` in
`ALPNCallback`, `[rsa, ec]` identities with an intermediate from `ca`,
`WebSocket` `checkServerIdentity`, a corrupted record, the Duplex read
above, `tls.DEFAULT_CIPHERS`.
- The `setSession()` guard was checked against the real `abort()` at 43
handshake states.
- `bun run rust:check-all`: 12 of 12 targets. `tsc`, oxlint, source
lints, prettier, rustfmt, mordant clean.
- usockets' `_Nonnull` is compiled out of debug builds, so 105 of those
files were also run on a local release ASAN build with the CI runner's
environment (92 with leak checking): 4595 pass, 1 fail,
`child_process.test.ts` "spawn reports EPERM after dropping privileges",
which cannot pass as root and fails on `main` too.
- The close of a TLS socket over another stream ("Worth a look" 5):
eleven seeded differential fuzzers, 8,424 scenarios compared, each run
on a release ASAN build of this branch, on `main`, on Node v26.3.0 and
on the earlier state of the branch. Against `main`:
- Data that `main` delivers in full is cut in 5 scenarios, and about 150
that `main` cuts arrive in full. Of the 5, in 2 `main` never notices the
peer's close and keeps the socket for good, 2 call `end()` on the middle
one of three sessions over an in-memory Duplex, and 1 does the same on
Node.
- No dead timeout, no silent reset and no uncaught error that `main`
does not have (4 uncaught errors fewer).
- A socket stays open where `main` closes it in 109, and closes where
`main` keeps it in 295. 92 of the 109 do the same on Node or on the
earlier state (a `destroy()` that an in-memory Duplex does not show its
peer, half-open peers). 14 wait for a peer that paused reading and so
does not read the FIN (#42332's backpressure, as in Node); the socket's
own timeout fires there. 3 are left: one on a 5 ms timer, two with three
sessions over an in-memory Duplex.
- The earlier state of the branch cut data in 173 of the 400 scenarios
of one of them, where `main` cuts none and this cuts none.
- 23 new tests pin what they found. Each earlier attempt at this fix
fails the ones that describe it, the earlier state of the branch fails
7, and all pass on Node.
- After that change: 999 test files on the release ASAN build (20,246
pass; the 11 files that fail need a database, Docker, DNS or a non-root
user, or share a temp directory with a parallel run and pass alone), 61
on the debug build.
- TLS over a file descriptor (`openssl.c`, the path of `fetch`,
`Bun.serve`, `tls.connect`, `Bun.connect`) got the same treatment after
the rebase: seeded differential fuzzers on CI's release build of this
branch, on `main` and, for `node:*`, on Node v26.3.0. Every runtime also
against itself for the noise floor, injected faults and known bugs of
`main` as positive controls, and a difference counts only if it shows in
5 of 5 fresh processes.
- `node:tls` over TCP: 11,500 scenarios (one connection with Node as the
oracle line by line; 2 to 60 connections beside stalled neighbours; raw
peers that break the handshake). HTTPS: about 136,000 runs over
`Bun.serve` + `fetch`, `node:https`, `node:http2` and `wss://`, also
with the two ends in different runtimes. `Bun.connect` / `Bun.listen` /
`upgradeTLS`: 11,500 scenarios and 720 slow connections, with writers
driven by what `write()` returns, beside up to 6 stalled, dripping,
closing or resetting neighbours, and plain TCP as a second oracle. No
crash, hang, duplication, reordering or silent truncation, and no change
in time or in connection reuse.
- They found six things that `main` does better, none of which any test
showed. All are fixed, each with a test that fails on the build before:
what the peer sent lost behind a rejected `send()` (23 scenarios, and an
early HTTPS response lost with only `EPIPE`), the same silently for a
paused reader, `server.close()` never calling back on a half-open server
after a ClientHello and a reset (17), `closeAllConnections()` taking 12
s with a stalled client, `end()` losing up to 1.3 of 4 MiB that
`write()` had reported while the peer still uploads, and `end()` a
little after a stall never closing beside other stalled TLS sockets. The
last two fixes also deliver the 1 to 2 MiB that `main` loses there, and
close the socket that `main` keeps for good without such neighbours.
- All of them again after every fix, on CI's release build of it. That
caught one regression of a fix itself (a reader stopped for backpressure
lost 86,385 bytes, 1 of 6,000 scenarios), fixed too. On the last build:
scenarios that lose data where `main` does not 23 → 2, and Node loses it
in both, with the same `EPIPE`; `server.close()` that never calls back
17 → 0; connections held 4 → 0; requests that end in an error only where
`main` has a response 6 → 0. With a Node server in another process, a
request ends in an error only in 8 and 10 of 1,500 scenarios here, 5 and
3 on `main`, 10 with Node as the client.
- `Bun.connect` / `Bun.listen` on the last build against `main`, in
scenarios: hangs 0 against 1,031, sockets and fds never released 0
against 965, corrupted data 0 against 345, `abort()` 0 against 26
(`setSession()` after the handshake), writers that never close 0 against
101 of 720 connections. No kind of failure shows here and not on `main`.
About a third of the slow connections close later than on `main`, in 1
to 16 s instead of at once, waiting for unsent ciphertext or for the
peer's close_notify, and 79 more of them deliver all that `write()`
reported. RSS and time with 16 to 256 stalled writers are the same.
- What they found that `main` does worse: a `WebSocket` that calls
`close()` with sends pending loses messages in 81 of 999 scenarios (0
here), 37 server sockets left open, 10 `server.close()` that never call
back, 20 write callbacks that never run.
- The kqueue fix cannot be run on Linux. The `connectionListener` count
test now says what became of a missing connection, which is how the
cause was found (`'tlsClientError'` "socket hang up", then `read
ECONNRESET` at the client of the same port, after its
`'secureConnect'`). On macOS x64 it failed every attempt of the three
builds before the fix and passed at the first attempt of the build with
it.
- Windows and macOS were only run by CI. Four new tests asserted what
only the Linux kernel does (a FIN read ahead of a reset, unread bytes
surviving a reset, loopback buffer sizes, `fstat()` on a socket) and now
say so per platform.
