Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Fake DeviceToken Bypasses Shared Auth Rate Limiting
## Current Maintainer Triage
- Status: narrow
- Normalized severity: low
- Assessment: Real in shipped mixed WS auth flow, but practical risk is mostly weak shared-password deployments since strong shared tokens remain non-bruteforceable.
## Affected Packages / Versions

- Latest published npm version: `2026.3.31`
- Vulnerable version range: `<=2026.3.28`
- Patched versions: `>= 2026.3.31`
- First stable tag containing the fix: `v2026.3.31`
## Fix Commit(s)
- `af0c0862f22ca4492406a3103d05e3628f94cbe9` — 2026-03-31T09:08:57+09:00
## Release Process Note
- The fix is already present in released version `2026.3.31`.
