CVE-2026-44214 PUBLISHED

eventsource-encoder: SSE event injection via unsanitized event and id fields

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 05.05.2026 Published: 26.05.2026 Updated: 27.05.2026

eventsource-encoder encodes events as well-formed EventSource/Server Sent Event (SSE) messages. Prior to 1.0.2, eventsource-encoder does not sanitize the event or id fields of an EventSourceMessage before serializing them. An attacker who controls either field can inject arbitrary Server-Sent Events line terminators (\n, \r, or \r\n) and thereby forge additional SSE fields or entire messages on the stream. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.2.
