Description

Hello, dependabot just warned me on one of my repositories that `"ws": "^3.2.0"` has this security vulnerability: https://github.com/websockets/ws/security/advisories/GHSA-6fc8-4gx4-v693

The closest fixed version is `5.2.3`.

Any upgrade path planned for this?

I'm going to try to help as much as I can, but I'm not familiar with the codebase of the project (just arrived here), but if I can be of help, I will do so.

Any comment from maintainers on this?
