Authentication Bypass in console-io

Description

Affected versions of the console-io package do not configure the underlying websocket library to require authentication, resulting in an authentication bypass vulnerability. As console-io allows terminal access on the server via a web page, an authentication bypass is essentially remote code execution.

Recommendation

Update the console-io package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

• Affected version(s): < 2.3.0
• Patched version(s): 2.3.0
