high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 478216

Description

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

 - websocket-driver is a WebSocket protocol handler with pluggable I/O. Prior to 0.8.2,
 WebSocket::Driver.server() passes a malformed Host header to URI.parse in lib/websocket/http/request.rb
 without catching URI::InvalidURIError, allowing a remote client to crash a TCP-backed WebSocket server
 when the application does not catch the error from parse(). This issue is fixed in version 0.8.2.
 (CVE-2026-61666)

Solution

Update the websocket-driver library and its related packages to version 0.8.2 or later.
