CVE-2026-59725
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Socket.IO enables bidirectional and low-latency communication for every platform. From 4.1.0 before 6.6.7, Engine.IO protocol v4 polling transport does not properly close the HTTP response for invalid binary POST requests with Content-Type: application/octet-stream, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to exhaust server-side connections and sockets. This issue is fixed in version 6.6.7.

Desde la versión 4.1.0 anterior a la 6.6.7, el transporte de sondeo del protocolo Engine.IO v4 no cierra correctamente la respuesta HTTP para solicitudes POST binarias no válidas con Content-Type: application/octet-stream, permitiendo a un atacante no autenticado agotar las conexiones y los sockets del lado del servidor. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 6.6.7."
