GHSA-QV2V-M59F-V5FW

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2018-11-07 00:29 – Updated: 2021-09-16 21:04

Summary

Insecure randomness in socket.io

Details

Affected versions of socket.io depend on Math.random() to create socket IDs, and therefore the IDs are predictable. With enough information on prior IDs, an attacker may be able to guess the socket ID and gain access to socket.io servers without authorization.

Recommendation

Update to v0.9.7 or later.

Severity ?

7.5 (High)

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

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-06-04 19:00 – Updated: 2024-09-16 21:07

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.

Severity ?

No CVSS data available.
