WebSocket connections are increasingly common in modern web applications, yet they often lack the same security scrutiny as traditional HTTP endpoints.
Common Vulnerabilities
Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking — Attackers can establish WebSocket connections from malicious origins if CORS is not properly configured.
Message Injection — Without proper input validation, attackers can inject malicious payloads into WebSocket messages.
Denial of Service — WebSocket connections can be abused to exhaust server resources.
