8.5.0. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability:

  - The undici WebSocket client enforces maxPayloadSize on the cumulative byte count of fragments in a message
    but does not enforce a limit on the number of fragments. A malicious WebSocket server can stream many small
    or empty continuation frames that each pass per-frame and cumulative-size validation, collectively causing
    unbounded memory growth in the client process. (CVE-2026-12151)

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