Node.js is vulnerable to a certificate validation bypass in https.Agent via cross-policy TLS session reuse

A certificate validation bypass in Node.js https.Agent lets a cached TLS session authenticated under one CA policy be reused by a later request with a stricter policy. https.Agent.prototype.getName() assigns the same Agent and session-cache key to a request that omits ca and one that explicitly supplies ca: [], because an omitted value appends nothing to the key while an empty array stringifies to an empty string. The two policies differ: omitting ca uses the default trust store, while supplying ca replaces it. Since they share a key, a TLS session authenticated under the broader default policy is handed to a new connection made under the later ca: [] policy, and TLS 1.3 session resumption carries the earlier authentication forward, so the second request reports authorized === true and transmits confidential data to a server its own CA policy would reject on a fresh connection. This vulnerability affects Node.js 26.x, 24.x, and 22.x.
