Undici: Malicious WebSocket 64-bit length overflows parser and crashes the client

  • Disclosed: 13.03.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Impact

A server can reply with a WebSocket frame using the 64-bit length form and an extremely large length. undici's ByteParser overflows internal math, ends up in an invalid state, and throws a fatal TypeError that terminates the process.

Patches

Patched in the undici version v7.24.0 and v6.24.0. Users should upgrade to this version or later.

Workarounds

There are no workarounds.
