SCA: security update for @socket.io/cluster-engine (GHSA-wfpm-5gcm-94cg)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 472955

Description

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

 - Socket.IO enables bidirectional and low-latency communication for every platform. Prior to 0.1.1,
 @socket.io/cluster-engine uses inherited object properties when looking up attacker-controlled session IDs
 in clustered deployments. Special property names such as __proto__ or constructor can resolve through the
 object prototype chain instead of identifying an actual connected client, causing the Node.js process to
 crash and resulting in denial of service. Applications that do not use @socket.io/cluster-engine are not
 affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.1.1. (CVE-2026-102600)

Solution

Update the @socket.io/cluster-engine library and its related packages to version 0.1.1 or later.
