chore(deps)(deps): bump ws, engine.io, socket.io-adapter and engine.io-client in /backend

[dependabot]

Bumps ws, engine.io, socket.io-adapter and engine.io-client. These dependencies needed to be updated together.
Updates ws from 8.18.3 to 8.21.0

Release notes

Sourced from ws's releases.

8.21.0

Features

• Introduced the maxBufferedChunks and maxFragments options (2b2abd45).

Bug fixes

• Fixed a remote memory exhaustion DoS vulnerability (2b2abd45).

A high volume of tiny fragments and data chunks could be sent by a peer, using modest network traffic, to crash a ws server or client due to OOM.

import { WebSocket, WebSocketServer } from 'ws';
const wss = new WebSocketServer({ port: 0 }, function () {
const data = Buffer.alloc(1);
const options = { fin: false };
const { port } = wss.address();
const ws = new WebSocket(ws://localhost:${port});
ws.on('open', function () {
(function send() {
ws.send(data, options, function (err) {
if (err) return;
send();
});
})();
});
ws.on('error', console.error);
ws.on('close', function (code, reason) {
console.log(client close - code: ${code} reason: ${reason.toString()});
});
});
wss.on('connection', function (ws) {
ws.on('error', console.error);
ws.on('close', function (code, reason) {
console.log(server close - code: ${code} reason: ${reason.toString()});
});
});

The vulnerability was responsibly disclosed and fixed by Nadav Magier.

In vulnerable versions, the issue can be mitigated by lowering the value of the maxPayload option if possible.

8.20.1

Updates socket.io-adapter from 2.5.6 to 2.5.8

Release notes

Sourced from socket.io-adapter's releases.

socket.io-adapter@2.5.8

The ws dependency was bumped to ~8.21.0 following CVE-2026-48779.

socket.io-adapter@2.5.7

The ws dependency was bumped to ~8.20.1 following CVE-2026-45736.

Note from the ws maintainers:

Although the calculated CVSS severity is medium, the actual severity is believed to be low, as the flaw is only exploitable through misuse that is unlikely in practice.

• do not skip local broadcast when publishAndReturnOffset throws (#5457) (f630158)
