Backport CVE-2020-36048 to 3.5.x

Can we backport the change here: 734f9d1 to 3.5.x?

Thanks for raising this issue 👍

My only concern is that it is actually a breaking change that is likely to break some production deployments. What do you think?

Is it possible to opt into the fix somehow without doing a major version bump?

As I said above, this is a breaking change that will silently bite some users.

What we could do instead is deprecate the latest 3.x version, in order to help users upgrade to Engine.IO v4 / Socket.IO v3.
