CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects applications using the @socket.io/cluster-engine prior to version 0.1.1, where inherited object properties can be exploited to manipulate session IDs, leading to a denial of service by crashing the Node.js process. Organizations utilizing this component should prioritize upgrading to the patched version to mitigate the risk of service disruption. This issue is particularly critical for environments relying on Socket.IO for real-time communication.

Original NVD Description
Socket.IO enables bidirectional and low-latency communication for every platform. Prior to 0.1.1, @socket.io/cluster-engine uses inherited object properties when looking up attacker-controlled session IDs in clustered deployments. Special property names such as __proto__ or constructor can resolve through the object prototype chain instead of identifying an actual connected client, causing the Node.js process to crash and resulting in denial of service. Applications that do not use @socket.io/cluster-engine are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.1.1.
