Vulnerability from github – Published: 2020-10-02 15:39 – Updated: 2026-01-22 22:29

Summary

File restriction bypass in socket.io-file

Details

All versions of socket.io-fileare vulnerable to a file restriction bypass. The validation for valid file types only happens on the client-side, which allows an attacker to intercept the Websocket request post-validation and alter the name value to upload any file types.

No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.

Severity ?

7.8 (High)
