GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

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.

CVE-2024-38355

Impact

A specially crafted Socket.IO packet can trigger an uncaught exception on the Socket.IO server, thus killing the Node.js process.

node:events:502
    throw err; // Unhandled 'error' event
    ^

Error [ERR_UNHANDLED_ERROR]: Unhandled error. (undefined)
    at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:405:5)
    at Socket.emit (node:events:500:17)
    at /myapp/node_modules/socket.io/lib/socket.js:531:14
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:77:11) {
  code: 'ERR_UNHANDLED_ERROR',
  context: undefined
}

Affected versions

Version range	Needs minor update?
4.6.2...latest	Nothing to do
3.0.0...4.6.1	Please upgrade to socket.io@4.6.2 (at least)
2.3.0...2.5.0	Please upgrade to socket.io@2.5.1

Patches

This issue is fixed by socketio/socket.io@15af22f, included in socket.io@4.6.2 (released in May 2023).

The fix was backported in the 2.x branch today: socketio/socket.io@d30630b

Workarounds

As a workaround for the affected versions of the socket.io package, you can attach a listener for the "error" event:

io.on("connection", (socket) => {
  socket.on("error", () => {
    // ...
  });
});

v2.2.0

Compare Source

Features

• add cache-control header when serving the client source (#​2907) (b00ae50)

Bug fixes

• throw an error when trying to access the clients of a dynamic namespace (#​3355) (a7fbd1a)

v2.1.1

Compare Source

Features

• add local flag to the socket object (#​3129) (1decae3)

socket.local.to('room101').emit(/* */);

v2.1.0

Compare Source

Features

• add a 'binary' flag (#​3185) (f48a06c)

// by default, the object is recursively scanned to check whether it contains some binary data
// in the following example, the check is skipped in order to improve performance
socket.binary(false).emit('plain-object', object);

// it also works at the namespace level
io.binary(false).emit('plain-object', object);

• add support for dynamic namespaces (#​3195) (c0c79f0)

io.of(/^\/dynamic-\d+$/).on('connect', (socket) => {
  // socket.nsp.name = '/dynamic-101'
});

// client-side
const client = require('socket.io-client')('/dynamic-101');

Bug fixes

• properly emit 'connect' when using a custom namespace (#​3197) (f4fc517)
• include the protocol in the origins check (#​3198) (1f1d64b)

Important note ⚠️ from Engine.IO 3.2.0 release

There are two non-breaking changes that are somehow quite important:

• ws was reverted as the default wsEngine (https://github.com/socketio/engine.io/pull/550), as there was several blocking issues with uws. You can still use uws by running npm install uws --save in your project and using the wsEngine option:

var engine = require('engine.io');
var server = engine.listen(3000, {
  wsEngine: 'uws'
});

• pingTimeout now defaults to 5 seconds (instead of 60 seconds): https://github.com/socketio/engine.io/pull/551

v2.0.0

Compare Source

This major release brings several performance improvements:

• uws is now the default Websocket engine. It should bring significant improvement in performance (particularly in terms of memory consumption) (https://github.com/socketio/engine.io/releases/tag/2.0.0)

• the Engine.IO and Socket.IO handshake packets were merged, reducing the number of roundtrips necessary to establish a connection. (#​2833)

• it is now possible to provide a custom parser according to the needs of your application (#​2829). Please take a look at the example for more information.

Please note that this release is not backward-compatible, due to:

• a breaking change related to utf-8 encoding in engine.io-parser (https://github.com/socketio/engine.io-parser/pull/81)
• an update to make the socket id on the client match the id on the server-side (https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client/pull/1058)

Please also note that if you are using a self-signed certificate, rejectUnauthorized now defaults to true (https://github.com/socketio/engine.io-client/pull/558).

Finally, the API documentation is now in the repository (here), and the content of the website here. Do not hesitate if you see something wrong or missing!
