Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through the aggregation of incoming WebSocket message fragments without any limit on total size or fragment count. An attacker can exhaust server memory and cause a denial of service by sending a continuous stream of fragmented WebSocket messages that never complete, leading to unbounded heap growth and eventual server termination.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by terminating or limiting WebSocket traffic at a fronting layer that enforces message-size and fragment limits, or by disabling WebSocket routes.
