"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3123 advisory.

    undici's WebSocket client crashes the whole Node.js process during the opening handshake when a server
    responds with a subprotocol that the client never requested. A default WebSocket connection sends no
    subprotocol, but if the server's 101 response includes a Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header, undici
    dereferences a null value while checking it against the requested list and throws an uncaught TypeError.
    Because that code runs inside a microtask with no surrounding error handling, the exception propagates and
    terminates the process under Node's default behavior, instead of gracefully failing the connection as
    required by the WebSocket protocol. Any application that opens a WebSocket to an attacker-controlled or
    compromised server, or over a plaintext connection subject to a machine-in-the-middle, can be crashed
    remotely without authentication in the default configuration. This affects undici versions from 6.7.0 up
    to 6.28.1, from 7.0.0 up to 7.29.1, and from 8.0.0 up to 8.10.2. Users should upgrade to undici 6.28.1,
    7.29.1, or 8.10.2. (CVE-2026-19534)

    undici bundles a WebSocket client whose permessage-deflate size-limit cleanup removes all listeners from
    the internal zlib inflate stream, including its error listener, while that stream can still emit. When a
    remote peer sends a compressed payload that crosses the built-in 128 MiB decompressed-payload limit and
    then contains a malformed DEFLATE byte, the inflate stream emits a data error with no listener attached,
    which Node.js treats as a fatal unhandled error and terminates the entire process. Exploitation is remote
    and unauthenticated, requires no application mistake, and is asymmetric, since roughly 130 KB on the wire
    expands past the limit and crashes the process, and reconnecting can repeat the crash. This affects undici
    versions from 6.25.0 up to 6.28.1, from 7.28.0 up to 7.29.1, and from 8.1.0 up to 8.10.2. Users should
    upgrade to undici 6.28.1, 7.29.1, or 8.10.2. (CVE-2026-85024)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
