Dependency Hierarchy:

Found in HEAD commit: d2bcda0f0c639b1be7baa4fee5a8a1c0609b45f0

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

Engine.IO is the implementation of transport-based cross-browser/cross-device bi-directional communication layer for Socket.IO. A specially crafted HTTP request can trigger an uncaught exception on the Engine.IO server, thus killing the Node.js process. This impacts all the users of the engine.io package starting from version 4.0.0, including those who uses depending packages like socket.io. Versions prior to 4.0.0 are not impacted. A fix has been released for each major branch, namely 4.1.2 for the 4.x.x branch, 5.2.1 for the 5.x.x branch, and 6.1.1 for the 6.x.x branch. There is no known workaround except upgrading to a safe version.

Vulnerability Details

ws is an open source WebSocket client and server library for Node.js. A specially crafted value of the Sec-Websocket-Protocol header can be used to significantly slow down a ws server. The vulnerability has been fixed in ws@7.4.6 (websockets/ws@00c425e). In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated by reducing the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the --max-http-header-size=size and/or the maxHeaderSize options.
