Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The undici npm package is vulnerable in versions from 6.7.0 before 6.28.1, from 7.0.0 before 7.29.1, and from 8.0.0 before 8.10.2. When a server's handshake response includes a WebSocket subprotocol the client never requested, undici throws an uncaught TypeError that terminates the Node.js process. An attacker who controls or compromises a server the application connects to, or who can intercept a plaintext ws:// connection, can cause a denial of service without authentication. Upgrade to undici 6.28.1, 7.29.1, or 8.10.2; the source says no workaround is available.
