- **fixed** — Tighten OIDC ALLOWED_HOSTS wildcard matching to require full subdomain/path matches for *. and */ entries, preventing partial suffix matches from being incorrectly accepted
- **fixed** — Apply TCP keep-alive and no-delay settings on TLS connections by explicitly calling setKeepAlive() and setNoDelay() on the socket after creation

##### [7.1.1](https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/compare/v7.1.0...v7.1.1) (2026-03-24)

The MongoDB Node.js team is pleased to announce version 7.1.1 of the `mongodb` package!

##### Release Notes



###### Tighten OIDC ALLOWED_HOSTS wildcard matching

The OIDC ALLOWED_HOSTS wildcard handling has been fixed to require full subdomain/path matches for *. and */ entries, preventing partial suffix matches from being incorrectly accepted.

###### Fixed TCP keep-alive and no-delay settings not being applied on TLS connections

Due to a [Node.js bug](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/62003), `tls.connect()` silently ignores `keepAlive`, `keepAliveInitialDelay`, and `noDelay` options passed through its constructor. This could cause idle connections - particularly through cloud load balancers like Azure (240s idle timeout) or AWS PrivateLink/NLB - to be dropped unexpectedly due to missing TCP keep-alive probes.

The driver now explicitly calls `setKeepAlive()` and `setNoDelay()` on the socket after creation, ensuring these settings are always applied regardless of whether TLS is used.
###### Bug Fixes
