ws is an open source WebSocket client and server for Node.js. Prior to 8.20.1, the websocket.close() implementation is vulnerable to uninitialized memory disclosure when a TypedArray is passed as the reason argument. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.20.1.

The remote openSUSE 16 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21849-1 advisory.

    Changes in kimi-code:

    Update to version 0.42.0:

      * Add an experimental Updates panel with paginated progress         messages from the main agent and subagents, enabled with         KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_NOTIFY_USER=1
      * Turn the subagent model pool, Remote Control and the minidb         session-index read model with the global search worker always         on; their experimental flags and opt-out variables are gone,         search persistence is now tuned via the [database] section
      * Give tower worker and reviewer briefings the full mission         context, follow the subagent timeout for tower agents, and         show each background agent's model in /tasks
      * Retrieve file search matches beyond the first 100 results,         accept HEIC, HEIF and BMP images with Kimi-served models,         and warn in kimi -p when project MCP servers are skipped in         an untrusted folder
      * Read files with configurable character limits and resumable         long-line reads, decode malformed UTF-16 with a warning, and         preserve image and video filenames in session history
      * Rework the dashboard: deletable sessions, reorderable media         rail, collapsed tool calls revealed with Ctrl-O, and less         jank on long conversations and session reloads

    Update to version 0.41.0:

      * Add experimental tower mode for multi-agent orchestration and         Remote Control for reaching a local web session remotely
      * Add the WaitFor tool so the agent can wait for a background         task inside the current turn, and an optional fork parameter         that starts a subagent from a snapshot of the caller's history
      * Support two OAuth login methods, kimi.ai and kimi.com, and         activate several skills in one prompt
      * Enable the subagent model pool in every launch mode by default         and make turn-level file history unconditional
      * Add a dangerous-command guard that always asks before shutdown,         reboot or rm -rf in manual and YOLO permission modes, disabled         with [permission] dangerous_command_guard; auto mode never         blocks
      * Remove kimi web --allow-remote-terminals; PTY terminal routes         are served on loopback binds only
      * Require Edit and Write to read a file first, and reject a write         when the file changed on disk since that read
      * Rework the bundled web dashboard: multi-tab right sidebar,         Open/Done/Workspaces session tabs, a plugin marketplace panel         and mobile bottom sheets
      * ... see upstream's release notes for the full list
    - Vendor the runtime dependencies upstream stopped inlining in       0.39.0:
      * Add ws, qrcode and qrcode's own pngjs and dijkstrajs as         sources, installed into the package's private node_modules
      * Unpack the npm tarball directly instead of running npm install,         which would resolve the new dependencies against the registry         and pull in qrcode's CLI-only yargs tree
      * Declare the vendored trees with Provides: bundled(...)
    - CVE-2026-48779: ws denial of service from a high volume of tiny       WebSocket fragments; the ws inlined in the old bundle predated       the 8.21.0 fix, the vendored ws is 8.21.3 (boo#1268927)
    - CVE-2026-45736: ws uninitialized memory disclosure via       websocket.close() with a TypedArray, fixed by the same ws version       (boo#1269951)
    - Load the compiled node-pty addon during the build check as well
