Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling WebSocket connections. If a web application sends a WebSocket message concurrently with the WebSocket connection closing, it is possible that the application will continue to use the socket after it has been closed. As a result, subsequent connections can use the same object concurrently and share data and/or other errors.
