SCA: security update for websocket-driver (GHSA-33ph-fccm-39pj)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446030

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - ### Impact If this library is used in tandem with the `permessage-deflate` extension, a WebSocket server
 or client can be made to accept messages that are larger than the configured maximum message size. This is
 because this limit is checked against the message frames' length headers, which give the size of the
 compressed data, not the size after decompression. This can lead to applications accepting larger messages
 than expected and exceeding their intended resource usage. ### Patches The issue has been patched in
 version 0.8.1, by checking the length of messages after they are processed by incoming extensions. All
 users should upgrade to this version. ### Workarounds No known workarounds exist. ### Acknowledgements
 This issue was discovered and reported by Pranjali Thakur, DepthFirst Security Research Team.
 (CVE-2026-54464)

Solution

Update the websocket-driver library and its related packages to version 0.8.1 or later.
