## Overview

Socket.IO enables bidirectional and low-latency communication for every platform. From 6.5.0 before 6.6.7, Engine.IO servers with WebTransport enabled can resolve a crafted session ID such as __proto__ through an inherited property of the clients object during WebTransport upgrade handling, causing a TypeError and denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 6.6.7.

## Affected

- `engine.io >= 6.5.0, < 6.6.7`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `engine.io 6.6.7`
