Hi, The following vulnerability was published for cpp-httplib. CVE-2026-77358[0]: | cpp-httplib is a C++ header-only HTTP/HTTPS library. In versions | 0.33.0 through 0.50.0, the TLS-enabled WebSocket client frees the | TLS session before closing the WebSocket that still uses it, | producing a use-after-free. In WebSocketClient::shutdown_and_close | the SSL object is freed and the pointer cleared, but the subsequent | WebSocket close still sends a close frame through the SSL socket | stream, which holds a raw copy of the now-dangling session pointer | and reads from and writes to the freed memory. The same freed-then- | used ordering is reachable through the client's destructor and its | connect path, so ordinary teardown of a secure WebSocket connection | triggers the defect. This issue is fixed in version 0.50.1. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
