Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact Implementations that allows user-provided values to be passed to `event`, `retry` or `id` fields would be susceptible to event spoofing, where an attacker could inject arbitrary messages into the stream. - **Event Spoofing:** Attacker can inject arbitrary SSE events into the stream - **Client-side Manipulation:** Injected events can trigger unintended behavior in frontend JavaScript EventSource listeners - **Data Integrity:** Consumers of the SSE stream cannot distinguish injected events from legitimate ones ### Patches Patch available in v4.0.1. ### Workarounds Do not allow user data to control `event`, `retry` or `id` fields, and if you must - sanitize the input before passing it to `sse-channel`, stripping any newlines. ### Resources https://github.com/rexxars/sse-channel/issues/42
