It is possible that the Upgrade header is correctly received and handled (the `'upgrade'` event is emitted) without its value being returned to the user. This can happen if the number of received headers exceed the `server.maxHeadersCount` or `request.maxHeadersCount` threshold. In this case `incomingMessage.headers.upgrade` may not be set. Handle the case correctly and abort the handshake. Fixes #2230

Bumps ws from 7.5.9 to 7.5.10 to address crash when the Upgrade header cannot be read. See websockets/ws#2231.

Reduce the maximum allowed length of the request headers using the [`--max-http-header-size=size`][] and/or the [`maxHeaderSize`][] options so that no more headers than the `server.maxHeadersCount` limit can be sent. 2. Set `server.maxHeadersCount` to `0` so that no limit is applied. ### Credits The vulnerability was reported by [Ryan LaPointe](https://github.com/rrlapointe) in [https://github.com/websockets/ws/issues/2230](https://github.com/websockets/ws/issues/2230). ### References - [https://github.com/websockets/ws/issues/2230](https://github.com/websockets/ws/issues/2230) - [https://github.com/websockets/ws/pull/2231](https://github.com/websockets/ws/pull/2231) [`--max-http-header-size=size`]: https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#--max-http-header-sizesize [`maxHeaderSize`]: https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#httpcreateserveroptions-requestlistener [`server.maxHeadersCount`]: https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#servermaxheaderscount --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>websockets/ws (ws)</summary> ### [`v8.17.1`](https://github.com/websockets/ws/releases/tag/8.17.1) [Compare Source](https://github.com/websockets/ws/compare/8.17.0...8.17.1) ### Bug fixes - Fixed a DoS vulnerability ([#​2231](https://github.com/websockets/ws/issues/2231)).
