socket.io parser is a socket.io encoder and decoder written in JavaScript complying with version 5 of socket.io-protocol. A specially crafted Socket.IO packet can trigger an uncaught exception on the Socket.IO server, thus killing the Node.js process. A patch has been released in version 4.2.3.
Due to improper type validation in attachment parsing the Socket.io js library, it is possible to overwrite the _placeholder object which allows an attacker to place references to functions at arbitrary places in the resulting query object.
socket.io-parser before 3.4.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large packet because a concatenation approach is used.
