Css-loader is a crucial webpack loader that enables developers to import CSS files into their JavaScript modules, allowing for better modularity and management of stylesheets within modern web applications. Comparing versions 3.3.1 and 3.3.0 reveals subtle yet important changes for developers using this tool. Both versions share the same core dependencies, ensuring compatibility with essential packages like postcss, loader-utils, and schema-utils. The development dependencies also remain consistent, indicating a unified approach to development tooling and testing.
The key difference lies in the dist section, specifically the unpackedSize. Version 3.3.1 has an unpacked size of 83109 bytes, while version 3.3.0 has an unpacked size of 80210 bytes. This suggests that version 3.3.1 includes some minor adjustments or additions that slightly increased the overall package size. The release dates also highlight that version 3.3.1 was released a few days after version 3.3.0, indicating it's likely a patch release addressing potential bugs or minor improvements found in the previous version. For developers, upgrading to version 3.3.1 is recommended to benefit from these potential fixes and enhancements, ensuring a more stable and reliable experience when handling CSS within their webpack workflows. Consider the update to adopt the latest improvements and minor bug fixes available within the library.

PostCSS line return parsing error
An issue was discovered in PostCSS before 8.4.31. It affects linters using PostCSS to parse external Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). There may be \r discrepancies, as demonstrated by @font-face{ font:(\r/*);} in a rule.
This vulnerability affects linters using PostCSS to parse external untrusted CSS. An attacker can prepare CSS in such a way that it will contains parts parsed by PostCSS as a CSS comment. After processing by PostCSS, it will be included in the PostCSS output in CSS nodes (rules, properties) despite being originally included in a comment.
