CVE-2023-37899 Information

Description

Feathersjs is a framework for creating web APIs and real-time applications with TypeScript or JavaScript. Feathers socket handler did not catch invalid string conversion errors like const message = $ toString: '' which would cause the NodeJS process to crash when sending an unexpected Socket.io message like socket.emit('find' toString: '' ). A fix has been released in versions 5.0.8 and 4.5.18. Users are advised to upgrade. There is no known workaround for this vulnerability.
