Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

The eslint-config-next package provides a pre-configured ESLint setup tailored for Next.js projects, streamlining the process of linting and ensuring code quality. Comparing versions 13.3.4 and 13.4.0 reveals subtle but important updates. Both versions share a common foundation, employing familiar ESLint plugins such as eslint-plugin-react, eslint-plugin-import, and eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y for comprehensive React and JavaScript code analysis. They also rely on @typescript-eslint/parser for TypeScript support and eslint-plugin-react-hooks to enforce React Hooks rules. Notably, both versions specify peer dependencies on eslint (versions 7.23.0 or 8.0.0 and later) and typescript (version 3.3.1 and later), indicating compatibility requirements for these core tools.

The key difference lies within the dependencies: @next/eslint-plugin-next. Version 13.4.0 bumps this dependency to match its own version, 13.4.0, while version 13.3.4 utilizes version 13.3.4 of the plugin. This @next/eslint-plugin-next plugin is critical, as it provides Next.js-specific linting rules and best practices to improve application performance, security, and overall code quality. Therefore, upgrading to eslint-config-next version 13.4.0 ensures developers benefit from the latest Next.js linting rules and checks incorporated in @next/eslint-plugin-next version 13.4.0, keeping their projects aligned with the most recent Next.js conventions.
