### Vulnerable Library - ws-8.2.3.tgz

Simple to use, blazing fast and thoroughly tested websocket client and server for Node.js

Library home page: https://registry.npmjs.org/ws/-/ws-8.2.3.tgz

Path to dependency file: /server/package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /server/node_modules/ws/package.json,/client/node_modules/engine.io-client/node_modules/ws/package.json

Dependency Hierarchy: - socket.io-client-4.5.4.tgz (Root Library) - engine.io-client-6.2.3.tgz - :x: **ws-8.2.3.tgz** (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: master

### Vulnerability Details

ws is an open source WebSocket client and server for Node.js. A request with a number of headers exceeding theserver.maxHeadersCount threshold could be used to crash a ws server. The vulnerability was fixed in ws@8.17.1 (e55e510) and backported to ws@7.5.10 (22c2876), ws@6.2.3 (eeb76d3), and ws@5.2.4 (4abd8f6). In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated in the following ways: 1. Reduce the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the --max-http-header-size=size and/or the maxHeaderSize options so that no more headers than the server.maxHeadersCount limit can be sent. 2. Set server.maxHeadersCount to 0 so that no limit is applied.
