Comment 1 Asahi Lina 2024-08-07 11:58:43 UTC

websocket-js is only used in obs-cef (and Chromium in general) for the devtools frontend, as a client. Since this CVE is in the server side which is not used in production, it is not relevant to this package.

Comment 2 Asahi Lina 2024-08-07 12:01:54 UTC

For verification, grep the source tree for "WebSocketServer". The only hits in JS code are within websocket-js itself, and in `third_party/devtools-frontend/src/scripts/hosted_mode/server.js` which is a development server for local testing, not used in the built package.
