Uncaught Exception

Summary

We have identified a bug in Node.js error handling where "Maximum call stack size exceeded" errors become uncatchable when `async_hooks.createHook()` is enabled. Instead of reaching `process.on('uncaughtException')`, the process terminates, making the crash unrecoverable. Applications that rely on `AsyncLocalStorage` (v22, v20) or `async_hooks.createHook()` (v24, v22, v20) become vulnerable to Denial-of-Service (DoS) crashes triggered by deep recursion under specific conditions. This vulnerability affects all users in active release lines: 20.x prior to 20.20.0, 22.x prior to 22.22.0, 24.x prior to 24.13.0, and 25.x prior to 25.3.0.
