feathersjs — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 5

FeathersJS is a real-time application framework enabling rapid development of REST APIs and WebSocket services. Historically, it has faced vulnerabilities including remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and privilege escalation, primarily stemming from misconfigurations and input validation flaws. The framework's modular architecture introduces potential attack surfaces through third-party plugins. While no major public security incidents have been documented, the five recorded CVEs highlight risks in default configurations and improper sanitization. Developers should implement strict input validation, secure authentication mechanisms, and regular dependency updates to mitigate these risks when building applications with FeathersJS.
