description

The npm engine.io package is affected in versions 6.6.0 through 6.6.9 when servers permit transport upgrades. A remote client that can create a session may cause the Node.js process to exit by triggering inconsistent protocol handling during an upgrade.

mitigation

Upgrade engine.io to version 6.6.10 or later; update dependent Socket.IO packages to a release that includes it. Until then, disable transport upgrades or restrict the deployment to a single transport where compatible.

fixed in 6.6.10
