Summary
Feathers socket handler allows abusing implicit toString
Details

Impact

Feathers socket handler did not catch invalid string conversion errors like:

const message = `${{ toString: '' }}`

Causing the NodeJS process to crash when sending an unexpected Socket.io message like

socket.emit('find', { toString: '' })

Patches

A fix has been released in

  • v5.0.8 via #3241
  • v4.5.18 via #3242

Workarounds

Since it is in the core Socket handling code upgrading to the latest version is necessary.
