|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-33151 | Socket.IO is an open source, real-time, bidirectional, event-based, communication framework. Prior to versions 3.3.5, 3.4.4, and 4.2.6, a specially crafted Socket.IO packet can make the server wait for a large number of binary attachments and buffer them, which can be exploited to make the server run out of memory. This issue has been patched in versions 3.3.5, 3.4.4, and 4.2.6. | [email protected] | 8.7 | 0.06% | 2026-03-20 | 2026-04-14 |
| CVE-2023-32695 | socket.io parser is a socket.io encoder and decoder written in JavaScript complying with version 5 of socket.io-protocol. A specially crafted Socket.IO packet can trigger an uncaught exception on the Socket.IO server, thus killing the Node.js process. A patch has been released in version 4.2.3. | [email protected] | 7.3 | 0.30% | 2023-05-27 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2023-31125 | Engine.IO is the implementation of transport-based cross-browser/cross-device bi-directional communication layer for Socket.IO. An uncaught exception vulnerability was introduced in version 5.1.0 and included in version 4.1.0 of the `socket.io` parent package. Older versions are not impacted. 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, including those who use d | [email protected] | 6.5 | 1.09% | 2023-05-08 | 2025-02-13 |
| CVE-2022-41940 | 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, including those who uses depending packages like socket.io. There is no known workaround except upgrading to a safe version. There are patches for this issue released in versions 3.6.1 and 6.2. | [email protected] | 7.1 | 1.61% | 2022-11-22 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2022-2421 | Due to improper type validation in attachment parsing the Socket.io js library, it is possible to overwrite the _placeholder object which allows an attacker to place references to functions at arbitrary places in the resulting query object. | [email protected] | 10.0 | 0.76% | 2022-10-26 | 2026-02-06 |
| CVE-2022-25867 | The package io.socket:socket.io-client before 2.0.1 are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference when parsing a packet with with invalid payload format. | [email protected] | 7.5 | 0.88% | 2022-08-02 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2022-21676 | 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 ` | [email protected] | 7.5 | 4.08% | 2022-01-12 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2020-28481 | The package socket.io before 2.4.0 are vulnerable to Insecure Defaults due to CORS Misconfiguration. All domains are whitelisted by default. | [email protected] | 5.3 | 0.19% | 2021-01-19 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2020-36049 | socket.io-parser before 3.4.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large packet because a concatenation approach is used. | [email protected] | 7.5 | 0.53% | 2021-01-08 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2020-36048 | Engine.IO before 4.0.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a POST request to the long polling transport. | [email protected] | 7.5 | 0.50% | 2021-01-08 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2017-16031 | Socket.io is a realtime application framework that provides communication via websockets. Because socket.io 0.9.6 and earlier depends on `Math.random()` to create socket IDs, the IDs are predictable. An attacker is able to guess the socket ID and gain access to socket.io servers, potentially obtaining sensitive information. | [email protected] | 7.5 | 0.43% | 2018-06-04 | 2024-11-21 |
| CVE-2016-10536 | engine.io-client is the client for engine.io, the implementation of a transport-based cross-browser/cross-device bi-directional communication layer for Socket.IO. The vulnerability is related to the way that node.js handles the `rejectUnauthorized` setting. If the value is something that evaluates to false, certificate verification will be disabled. This is problematic as engine.io-client 1.6.8 and earlier passes in an object for settings that includes the rejectUnauthorized property, whether it | [email protected] | 5.9 | 0.25% | 2018-05-31 | 2024-11-21 |
