Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

@rollup/plugin-commonjs, a vital tool for converting CommonJS modules to the modern ES2015 format for Rollup bundlers, saw a minor version bump from 23.0.3 to 23.0.4. Examining the package metadata reveals subtle but potentially impactful changes for developers relying on this plugin.

Both versions share identical dependencies, including crucial libraries like 'glob' for file system traversal, 'magic-string' for efficient string manipulation during code transformation, and '@rollup/pluginutils' for Rollup plugin utilities. The 'devDependencies' section also remains consistent, indicating no alterations in the tooling used for development, testing, and building the plugin itself. This suggests that the core functionality and development environment have remained stable between these versions.

The consistent 'peerDependencies' specification, requiring Rollup versions "^2.68.0||^3.0.0", ensures compatibility with a range of Rollup versions, giving flexibility to users with different project setups.

The most notable difference lies in the 'dist' object, specifically the 'unpackedSize' and 'releaseDate' attributes. Version 23.0.4 has a slightly larger unpacked size (178299 bytes compared to 178278 bytes in 23.0.3), suggesting minor code additions, optimizations, or dependency updates within the package. The 'releaseDate' confirms a newer version with version 23.0.4 released in December 2022 while version 23.0.3 was published in November 2022.

While the changes appear minimal, developers should consider upgrading to version 23.0.4 to benefit from any potential bug fixes, performance improvements, or security patches included in the update. Reviewing the changelog or release notes (if available) is always recommended for a comprehensive understanding of the modifications and their impact on your specific project.
