ESLint version 3.13.1 is a minor release of the popular JavaScript linting tool, building upon the foundation of version 3.13.0. Both versions provide robust static analysis for identifying problematic patterns in JavaScript code, enforcing coding standards, and promoting code consistency. They share a core set of features, including customizable rules, integrations with various editors and build systems, and support for modern JavaScript syntax through Espree.
A key benefit for developers is the ability to tailor ESLint to their specific project needs using configuration files. This allows teams to enforce consistent style guides, catch potential errors early, and improve overall code quality. Both versions support a wide range of rules covering everything from basic syntax to more complex code patterns.
While the core functionality remains largely the same between these two releases, version 3.13.1 likely includes bug fixes and minor improvements over 3.13.0. Unfortunately, the provided data doesn't detail the specific changes. Typically, minor releases like this address identified issues, potentially enhancing performance or resolving compatibility concerns with certain plugins or configurations. Developers should consult the official ESLint changelog for a comprehensive list of changes between these versions to determine if the update addresses any specific issues they may be encountering or introduces any relevant improvements for their workflow. The core dependencies and devDependencies appear identical, indicating that the update is most likely focused on internal refinements.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 3.13.1 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.
