Grunt-conventional-github-releaser streamlines the process of creating GitHub releases based on conventional commit messages. Version 0.4.0 builds upon the foundation established in version 0.3.0, offering developers an updated tool for automating their release workflows. A key difference lies in the dependency on conventional-github-releaser. Version 0.4.0 upgrades this dependency to version 0.4.0, while the previous version relied on version 0.3.0. This seemingly small change likely incorporates improvements, bug fixes, and potentially new features within the core release generation logic.
For developers, upgrading to version 0.4.0 means leveraging the latest enhancements in conventional release management. These improvements could translate to more accurate release notes, better handling of edge cases, or enhanced compatibility with different commit message styles. The devDependencies remain consistent between the two versions, indicating no changes in the underlying testing or build tools. This suggests a focus on refining the core functionality of the plugin rather than overhauling the development environment.
If you are using version 0.3.0 you should consider upgrading to version 0.4.0 to benefit from the updated conventional-github-releaser dependency and potentially improved release generation capabilities.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 0.4.0 of the package
Command Injection in lodash
lodash versions prior to 4.17.21 are vulnerable to Command Injection via the template function.
Prototype Pollution in lodash
Versions of lodash before 4.17.11 are vulnerable to prototype pollution.
The vulnerable functions are 'defaultsDeep', 'merge', and 'mergeWith' which allow a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object via {constructor: {prototype: {...}}} causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Update to version 4.17.11 or later.
Prototype Pollution in lodash
Versions of lodash before 4.17.5 are vulnerable to prototype pollution.
The vulnerable functions are 'defaultsDeep', 'merge', and 'mergeWith' which allow a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object via __proto__ causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Update to version 4.17.5 or later.
Prototype Pollution in lodash
Versions of lodash before 4.17.12 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. The function defaultsDeep allows a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object via {constructor: {prototype: {...}}} causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Update to version 4.17.12 or later.
Prototype Pollution in lodash
Versions of lodash prior to 4.17.19 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. The functions pick, set, setWith, update, updateWith, and zipObjectDeep allow a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object if the property identifiers are user-supplied. Being affected by this issue requires manipulating objects based on user-provided property values or arrays.
This vulnerability causes the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects and may lead to Denial of Service or Code Execution under specific circumstances.
dot-prop Prototype Pollution vulnerability
Prototype pollution vulnerability in dot-prop npm package versions before 4.2.1 and versions 5.x before 5.1.1 allows an attacker to add arbitrary properties to JavaScript language constructs such as objects.
Command Injection in lodash
lodash versions prior to 4.17.21 are vulnerable to Command Injection via the template function.
Prototype Pollution in handlebars
The package handlebars before 4.7.7 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution when selecting certain compiling options to compile templates coming from an untrusted source.
Cross-Site Scripting in handlebars
Versions of handlebars prior to 4.0.0 are affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability when attributes in handlebar templates are not quoted.
Template:
<a href={{foo}}/>
Input:
{ 'foo' : 'test.com onload=alert(1)'}
Rendered result:
<a href=test.com onload=alert(1)/>
Update to version 4.0.0 or later. Alternatively, ensure that all attributes in handlebars templates are encapsulated with quotes.
Remote code execution in handlebars when compiling templates
The package handlebars before 4.7.7 are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) when selecting certain compiling options to compile templates coming from an untrusted source.
Prototype Pollution in lodash.merge
Versions of lodash.merge before 4.6.1 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. The function 'merge' may allow a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object via __proto__ causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Update to version 4.6.1 or later.
Prototype Pollution in lodash.merge
Versions of lodash.merge before 4.6.2 are vulnerable to prototype pollution. The function merge may allow a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object via {constructor: {prototype: {...}}} causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Update to version 4.6.2 or later.
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in trim-newlines
@rkesters/gnuplot is an easy to use node module to draw charts using gnuplot and ps2pdf. The trim-newlines package before 3.0.1 and 4.x before 4.0.1 for Node.js has an issue related to regular expression denial-of-service (ReDoS) for the .end() method.
