@commitlint/cli versions 8.1.0 and 8.0.0 provide developers with a tool to lint commit messages, ensuring consistency and adherence to project standards. Comparing the two versions, several key differences emerge, primarily within their dependency specifications. Version 8.1.0 upgrades some core dependencies. Specifically, lodash is updated from 4.17.11 to 4.17.14. Furthermore, the internal @commitlint packages, such as @commitlint/lint, @commitlint/load, @commitlint/read, and @commitlint/format, are all bumped from version 8.0.0 to 8.1.0. Additionally, @commitlint/utils development dependency moves from version 8.0.0 to ^8.1.0. These dependency updates likely incorporate bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features within the underlying linting logic and associated utilities.
For developers using @commitlint/cli, these changes imply potential improvements in linting accuracy and overall stability. Upgrading to version 8.1.0 ensures you're leveraging the latest refinements from the commitlint ecosystem. While the core functionality remains consistent – linting commit messages based on configurable rules – the updated dependencies offer a more polished and reliable experience. The release date difference (May 24th vs. July 15th, 2019) indicates accumulated incremental improvements and fixes incorporated into the newer release. Developers should review the changelogs of the updated dependencies for complete details on specific enhancements.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 8.1.0 of the package
yargs-parser Vulnerable to Prototype Pollution
Affected versions of yargs-parser are vulnerable to prototype pollution. Arguments are not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to modify the prototype of Object, causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Parsing the argument --foo.__proto__.bar baz' adds a bar property with value baz to all objects. This is only exploitable if attackers have control over the arguments being passed to yargs-parser.
Upgrade to versions 13.1.2, 15.0.1, 18.1.1 or later.
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in trim-newlines
@rkesters/gnuplot is an easy to use node module to draw charts using gnuplot and ps2pdf. The trim-newlines package before 3.0.1 and 4.x before 4.0.1 for Node.js has an issue related to regular expression denial-of-service (ReDoS) for the .end() method.
Prototype Pollution in lodash
Versions of lodash prior to 4.17.19 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. The functions pick, set, setWith, update, updateWith, and zipObjectDeep allow a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object if the property identifiers are user-supplied. Being affected by this issue requires manipulating objects based on user-provided property values or arrays.
This vulnerability causes the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects and may lead to Denial of Service or Code Execution under specific circumstances.
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in lodash
All versions of package lodash prior to 4.17.21 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the toNumber, trim and trimEnd functions.
Steps to reproduce (provided by reporter Liyuan Chen):
var lo = require('lodash');
function build_blank(n) {
var ret = "1"
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
ret += " "
}
return ret + "1";
}
var s = build_blank(50000) var time0 = Date.now();
lo.trim(s)
var time_cost0 = Date.now() - time0;
console.log("time_cost0: " + time_cost0);
var time1 = Date.now();
lo.toNumber(s) var time_cost1 = Date.now() - time1;
console.log("time_cost1: " + time_cost1);
var time2 = Date.now();
lo.trimEnd(s);
var time_cost2 = Date.now() - time2;
console.log("time_cost2: " + time_cost2);
Command Injection in lodash
lodash versions prior to 4.17.21 are vulnerable to Command Injection via the template function.
dot-prop Prototype Pollution vulnerability
Prototype pollution vulnerability in dot-prop npm package versions before 4.2.1 and versions 5.x before 5.1.1 allows an attacker to add arbitrary properties to JavaScript language constructs such as objects.
