Denial of Service (DoS)

TL;DR

WebSocketStream aborts its locked writable on an unclean TCP close and discards the rejection. Aborting a locked writable rejects with a TypeError, and the unobserved rejection terminates the process under Node.js's default unhandledRejection behavior. A remote peer can trigger this with a single connection teardown while the application holds a writer. The fix observes the abort result instead of leaving the rejection unhandled.

How do I fix this?

Upgrade the undici library to the patch version.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you use WebSocketStream.
