Last modified

CVE-2026-33151 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.7/10 on the CVSS scale. Socket.IO is an open source, real-time, bidirectional, event-based, communication framework. Prior to versions 3.3.5, 3.4.4, and 4.2.6, a specially crafted Socket.IO packet can make the server wait for a large number of binary attachments and buffer them, which can be exploited to make the server run out of memory. EPSS estimates a 0.51% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
