Fix was made in webpack-dev-server with this push: webpack/webpack-dev-server@e765182

Problem description
Exposure of Sensitive Information in eventsource
When fetching an url with a link to an external site (Redirect), the users Cookies & Autorisation headers are leaked to the third party application. According to the same-origin-policy, the header should be "sanitized."

Severity Score

Background
That PR then updates webpack-dev-server's dependency on sockjs to v. 1.6.1 which includes this commit: sockjs/sockjs-client@1cf4a5a which updates eventsource to a version > 1.0.0.

This is the commit which fixes the security issue in Eventsource: EventSource/eventsource@f9f6416
