Prior to 0.7.5, if this library is used with the permessage-deflate extension, a WebSocket server or client can be made to accept messages that are larger than the configured maximum message size because the limit is checked against the message frames&#8217; length headers, which give the size of the compressed data, not the size after decompression in lib\/websocket\/driver\/hybi.js. This can lead to applications accepting larger messages than expected and exceeding their intended resource usage.
