Self-hosting the mempool explorer? Its backend image still bundles Node 24.13.0, from before the Oct 20 Node security release

October 21, 2026 0

Node.js put out security releases on October 20 (24.22.1 for the 24.x line): https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/october-2026-security-releases

The published mempool backend images (mempool/backend v3.3.1 and latest, both from April) still bundle Node 24.13.0. There's a PR upstream to bump it, but it's waiting on the maintainers, and no rebuilt image is out yet.

To check yours:

docker exec <backend-container> node -v

If your node platform packages the mempool app for you, it may already ship its own build, so check before changing anything.

If it says v24.13.0 and you build your own stack, this is what we're running until upstream ships a fix:

 FROM node:24.22.1-bookworm-slim AS node FROM mempool/backend:v3.3.1 COPY --from=node /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node 

Same Debian 12 base and the same native-module ABI, so the backend's Rust addon loads fine. Build it, point your compose file at the new image, and restart only the backend. It's been running normally on our instance since the 21st.

According to PANews on October 19th, the latest analysis by CryptoQuant indicates that although Bitcoin has some support, the recovery process is uneven. Firstly, in terms of exchange reserves, it rose from approximately 2.67 million BTC in early October to approximately 2.68 million BTC, still far below the level in January. Low reserves do not mean a continuous contraction in supply, transfers or changes in custody, and the increase itself does not prove selling. Secondly, the recovery of spot demand has been hindered. The 30-day spot demand once approached zero and then turned negative again. The perpetual contract demand was positive, supporting the overall demand. Finally, the behavior of major whales was differentiated. Addresses holding 100–1,000 BTC still accumulated netly over the past 60 days, but were below the peak in September; the group holding 1,000–10,000 BTC net decreased to nearly zero; the group with over 10,000 BTC was negative. Accumulation was not fully launched. What are your thoughts, experts? Regarding this report, do you have any opinions?
