CVE-2026-69185 · Socket.IO: Zero-attachment Memory Exhaustion
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
Socket.IO enables bidirectional and low-latency communication for every platform. Prior to 4.2.7, 3.4.5, and 3.3.6, 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 vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.7, 3.4.5, and 3.3.6.
