Details

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

## Impact undici's `WebSocketStream` crashes the client process when a WebSocket connection is closed abruptly without a close handshake. On such an unclean close, the internal socket-close handler calls `abort()` on the writable stream even when the application holds a writer lock. Per the WHATWG Streams standard, aborting a locked stream returns a promise that rejects with a `TypeError`, and the handler discards that promise. The unobserved rejection surfaces as an `unhandledRejection` and, under Node.js's default behavior, terminates the process. A malicious or compromised WebSocket server can crash a client with a single connection teardown (a TCP reset, a proxy teardown, or a protocol-violating frame). Affected applications are those using the `WebSocketStream` API and writing through a writer, which is the standard way to write. All releases from undici 7.0.0 are affected. WebSocketStream was introduced in 7.0.0. ## Patches Upgrade to undici v7.29.1 or v8.10.2. ## Workarounds No workaround is available.
