CVE-2026-33151 Details
Description
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.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Socket.IO, a real-time communication framework. Prior to versions 3.3.5, 3.4.4, and 4.2.6, the built-in parser allowed an unbounded number of binary attachments in packets. This could be exploited to make the server buffer a large number of binary elements, leading to excessive memory consumption and potential exhaustion of server resources. The issue has been patched in versions 3.3.5, 3.4.4, and 4.2.6.
Users can upgrade to Socket.IO versions 3.3.5, 3.4.4, or 4.2.6 to address this vulnerability.
