CWE-770  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade undici to version 6.29.1, 7.30.1, 8.12.2 or higher.

Overview

undici is an An HTTP/1.1 client, written from scratch for Node.js

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via unbounded automatic PONG write queuing in the WebSocket ByteParser receiver. A remote attacker can send a flood of PING control frames over a standard WebSocket connection, causing the outbound write queue to grow without bound because each inbound PING triggers an automatic PONG reply that is enqueued regardless of socket backpressure, exhausting memory and crashing the process.
