Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

Affected versions: < 2.4.0

Release notes

Sourced from socket.io's releases.

2.4.1

This release reverts the breaking change introduced in 2.4.0 (https://github.com/socketio/socket.io/commit/f78a575f66ab693c3ea96ea88429ddb1a44c86c7).

If you are using Socket.IO v2, you should explicitly allow/disallow cross-origin requests:

• without CORS (server and client are served from the same domain):

io.origins((req, callback) => {
  callback(null, req.headers.origin === undefined); // cross-origin requests will not be allowed
});

• with CORS (server and client are served from distinct domains):

io.origins(["http://localhost:3000"]); // for local development
io.origins(["https://example.com"]);

In any case, please consider upgrading to Socket.IO v3, where this security issue is now fixed (CORS is disabled by default).

Features (from Engine.IO)

• add support for all cookie options (19cc582)
• disable perMessageDeflate by default (5ad2736)

Bug Fixes

• security: do not allow all origins by default (f78a575)
• properly overwrite the query sent in the handshake (d33a619)

:warning: BREAKING CHANGE :warning:

Previously, CORS was enabled by default, which meant that a Socket.IO server sent the necessary CORS headers (Access-Control-Allow-xxx) to any domain. This will not be the case anymore, and you now have to explicitly enable it.
