Remove the vulnerability CVE-2020-36048 from engine.io use in socket.io?
- Version:
- Electron.NET CLI 13.5.1
- Dotnet core 5.0
- Node 14
- Target:
- osx64
- win64
Issue:
The electron host relies on socket.io which uses engine.io and although a custom package file could be passed, the code seems to fail when socket.io 3.x and 4.x used. However, using socket.io 2.x is a security vulnerability as it using engine.io ~3.5.0 which exposes vulnerability CVE-2020-36048. There has been an issue placed against socket.io (https://github.com/socketio/socket.io/issues/4047) but it seems it will only be resolved in socket.io 3.x and later.
