External References: https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JAVA-ORGWEBJARSNPM-1056753 Similar to CVE-2020-36048, i think this should have an Important impact as it's primary use is to decode packets as part of the socket.io library. So again, results in a remote DoS. However again leaving Quay affects as Low, as these look like dev dependencies to me but want to confirm with engineering. $ npm list --prod | grep socket |
