CVE-2017-16031 (GCVE-0-2017-16031)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-06-04 19:00 – Updated: 2024-09-16 21:07
VLAI
Summary
Socket.io is a realtime application framework that provides communication via websockets. Because socket.io 0.9.6 and earlier depends on `Math.random()` to create socket IDs, the IDs are predictable. An attacker is able to guess the socket ID and gain access to socket.io servers, potentially obtaining sensitive information.
