    throw err; // Unhandled 'error' event
    ^

    at /myapp/node_modules/socket.io/lib/socket.js:531:14
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:77:11) {
  code: 'ERR_UNHANDLED_ERROR',
  context: undefined
}

Workarounds

As a workaround for the affected versions of the socket.io package, you can attach a listener for the "error" event:

io.on("connection", (socket) => {
  socket.on("error", () => {
    // ...
  });
});
