ESLint version 3.10.1 is a patch release following quickly after 3.10.0, both designed to provide robust JavaScript linting capabilities for developers. These versions, crucial for maintaining code quality and consistency, offer an AST-based pattern checker suitable for a wide range of JavaScript projects.
Both versions share identical core dependencies and development dependencies, assuring a consistent and stable development environment. Core dependencies include essential tools like glob for file system operations, escope and espree for JavaScript parsing and analysis, and lodash for utility functions. Development dependencies feature testing frameworks such as chai, mocha, and sinon, alongside build tools like browserify and babelify, promising thorough testing and modern JavaScript support.
The key difference lies in the release date, with version 3.10.1 being released just a few days after 3.10.0. It is reasonable to assume based on the versioning scheme (patch release) that the changes involve bug fixes and minor adjustments, it's likely resolving issues found shortly after the initial 3.10.0 release. While the specific fixes are not detailed in the provided data, users experiencing any problems with 3.10.0 are encouraged to upgrade to 3.10.1.
For developers, both versions provide reliable linting that can be easily integrated into existing workflows, aided by comprehensive testing and build tools ensuring compatibility and stability. The library supports modern JavaScript through Babel integration and benefits from a rich ecosystem of plugins and configurations. These releases strengthen ESLint's position as a leading tool for enforcing coding standards and improving overall code health for JavaScript projects.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 3.10.1 of the package
Prototype Pollution in Ajv
An issue was discovered in ajv.validate() in Ajv (aka Another JSON Schema Validator) 6.12.2. A carefully crafted JSON schema could be provided that allows execution of other code by prototype pollution. (While untrusted schemas are recommended against, the worst case of an untrusted schema should be a denial of service, not execution of code.)
Improper Privilege Management in shelljs
shelljs is vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management
Improper Privilege Management in shelljs
Output from the synchronous version of shell.exec() may be visible to other users on the same system. You may be affected if you execute shell.exec() in multi-user Mac, Linux, or WSL environments, or if you execute shell.exec() as the root user.
Other shelljs functions (including the asynchronous version of shell.exec()) are not impacted.
Patched in shelljs 0.8.5
Recommended action is to upgrade to 0.8.5.
