GHSA-g5vv-q72c-7j78: @anephenix/hub: Unauthenticated WebSocket RPC Waiter Resource Exhaustion

July 24, 2026 (updated July 31, 2026)

@anephenix/hub starts a setInterval polling loop for every incoming WebSocket connection to request a client ID via RPC. If the remote client never replies — which requires no authentication or special configuration — the interval and the pending request object are never cleaned up, even after the socket is closed. An unauthenticated attacker who opens many WebSocket connections and ignores all server RPC messages will therefore cause the server to accumulate unbounded timers and heap entries, leading to CPU and memory exhaustion (DoS).
