Bumps ws from 8.12.1 to 8.20.1.

Release notes

Sourced from ws's releases.

8.20.1

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an uninitialized memory disclosure issue in websocket.close() (c0327ec1).

Providing a TypedArray (e.g. Float32Array) as the reason argument for websocket.close(), rather than the supported string or Buffer types, caused uninitialized memory to be disclosed to the remote peer.

import { deepStrictEqual } from 'node:assert';
import { WebSocket, WebSocketServer } from 'ws';
const wss = new WebSocketServer(
{ port: 0, skipUTF8Validation: true },
function () {
const { port } = wss.address();
const ws = new WebSocket(ws://localhost:${port}, {
skipUTF8Validation: true
});
ws.on('close', function (code, reason) {
  deepStrictEqual(reason, Buffer.alloc(80));
});

}
);
wss.on('connection', function (ws) {
ws.close(1000, new Float32Array(20));
});

The issue was privately reported by Nikita Skovoroda.

ℹ Read more on: This package | This alert | What is protestware?

Next steps: Take a moment to review the security alert above. Review the linked package source code to understand the potential risk. Ensure the package is not malicious before proceeding. If you're unsure how to proceed, reach out to your security team or ask the Socket team for help at support@socket.dev.

Suggestion: Consider that consuming this package may come along with functionality unrelated to its primary purpose.

Mark the package as acceptable risk. To ignore this alert only in this pull request, reply with the comment @SocketSecurity ignore npm/es5-ext@0.10.64. You can also ignore all packages with @SocketSecurity ignore-all. To ignore an alert for all future pull requests, use Socket's Dashboard to change the triage state of this alert.
