Description

## Impact The undici WebSocket client enforces `maxPayloadSize` on the cumulative byte count of fragments in a message but does not enforce a limit on the number of fragments. A malicious WebSocket server can stream many small or empty continuation frames that each pass per-frame and cumulative-size validation, collectively causing unbounded memory growth in the client process. The result is memory exhaustion and a denial of service. Affected applications are those using the undici WebSocket client (`new WebSocket(...)`) or the `WebSocketStream` API that can be induced to connect to an attacker-controlled or compromised WebSocket endpoint. All releases starting at undici 6.17.0 are affected. ## Patches Upgrade to undici v6.27.0, v7.28.0 or v8.5.0. ## Workarounds No workaround is available. The fix must be applied through an upgrade.
