Ecosyste.ms: Advisories
An open API service providing security vulnerability metadata for many open source software ecosystems.
Security Advisories: MDE2OlNlY3VyaXR5QWR2aXNvcnlHSFNBLTRyNG0taGp3ai00M3A4
Insecure Defaults Allow MITM Over TLS in engine.io-client
Affected versions of engine.io-client do not verify certificates by default, and as such may be vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle attacks.
The vulnerability is related to the way that node.js handles the rejectUnauthorized setting. If the value is something that evaluates to false, such as undefined or null, certificate verification will be disabled.
Recommendation
Update to version 1.6.9 or later.
If you are unable to upgrade, ensure all calls to socket.io to have a rejectedUnauthorized: true flag.
