CVE-2026-44214: eventsource-encoder vulnerable to SSE event injection via unsanitized `event` and `id` fields

May 8, 2026 (updated June 8, 2026)

eventsource-encoder does not sanitize the event or id fields of an EventSourceMessage before serializing them. An attacker who controls either field can inject arbitrary Server-Sent Events line terminators (\n, \r, or \r\n) and thereby forge additional SSE fields or entire messages on the stream. This is similar in spirit to GHSA-4hxc-9384-m385 (h3), but the vulnerable fields are event/id rather than data/comment. These are less likely to be user-controllable, but should still be sanitized.
