How to fix?

Upgrade sails to version 1.5.7 or higher.

Overview

sails is a framework for building realtime apps, using MVC conventions (based on Express and Socket.io).

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception. An attacker can send a virtual request that will cause the node process to crash.

Workaround

Users who are unable to upgrade to the fixed version can disable the sockets hook and remove the sails.io.js client.
