Node.js ships HIGH-severity patches as crypto platform backends remain exposed

—Node.js patched HIGH-severity flaws in 26.x, 24.x and 22.x
—Node.js and Bun still lack a fix for compromised eMudhra keys
—Mozilla, Chrome, Apple and Microsoft blocked eMudhra certs on Oct 17-20
—Polygon Labs CTO: issue is not crypto-specific, risk is MITM attacks

Why it matters: Exchange backends and trading bots running Node.js stay exposed to traffic interception until patches land.
