CVE-2026-59724 Details
Description
Socket.IO enables bidirectional and low-latency communication for every platform. From 6.5.0 before 6.6.7, Engine.IO servers with WebTransport enabled can resolve a crafted session ID such as __proto__ through an inherited property of the clients object during WebTransport upgrade handling, causing a TypeError and denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 6.6.7.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Socket.IO Engine.IO servers with WebTransport enabled, affecting versions 6.5.0 prior to 6.6.7. The issue arises during WebTransport upgrade handling, where a crafted session ID, such as '__proto__', can be resolved through an inherited property of the clients object. This improper validation leads to a TypeError, causing a server crash. The vulnerability takes advantage of the session ID lookup not verifying that the key is an own property, allowing exploitation by sending a malicious WebTransport upgrade request.
Users should upgrade to Socket.IO Engine.IO version 6.6.7 or later. If using Socket.IO packages that depend on Engine.IO, update to a Socket.IO release that includes the patched Engine.IO version. If immediate upgrading is not possible, WebTransport support can be disabled as a temporary workaround.
