Inquirer.js is a popular npm package designed to simplify the creation of interactive command-line user interfaces. Versions 0.1.5 and 0.1.6 share a common foundation, offering developers a robust set of tools for building engaging CLI experiences. Both versions include essential dependencies like async for asynchronous operations, lodash for utility functions, cli-color for terminal styling, and mute-stream for managing input streams. Development dependencies for testing and building, such as chai, grunt, mocha, sinon, proxyquire, and various grunt plugins. This consistent dependency structure ensures that developers upgrading from 0.1.5 to 0.1.6 will experience a smooth transition with no breaking changes in core functionalities.
The primary difference between the two versions lies in their release dates. Version 0.1.6 was published on June 13, 2013, while version 0.1.5 was released on June 9, 2013. This suggests that version 0.1.6 likely incorporates bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature enhancements implemented in the short period between the two releases. While the specific changes are not detailed in the provided data, developers should consider upgrading to version 0.1.6 for the most up-to-date and stable experience. Both are MIT licensed and maintained by Simon Boudrias.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 0.1.6 of the package
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 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 4.17.11 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.
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in lodash
lodash prior to 4.7.11 is affected by: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption. The impact is: Denial of service. The component is: Date handler. The attack vector is: Attacker provides very long strings, which the library attempts to match using a regular expression. The fixed version is: 4.7.11.
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in lodash
All versions of package lodash prior to 4.17.21 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the toNumber, trim and trimEnd functions.
Steps to reproduce (provided by reporter Liyuan Chen):
var lo = require('lodash');
function build_blank(n) {
var ret = "1"
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
ret += " "
}
return ret + "1";
}
var s = build_blank(50000) var time0 = Date.now();
lo.trim(s)
var time_cost0 = Date.now() - time0;
console.log("time_cost0: " + time_cost0);
var time1 = Date.now();
lo.toNumber(s) var time_cost1 = Date.now() - time1;
console.log("time_cost1: " + time_cost1);
var time2 = Date.now();
lo.trimEnd(s);
var time_cost2 = Date.now() - time2;
console.log("time_cost2: " + time_cost2);
Command Injection in lodash
lodash versions prior to 4.17.21 are vulnerable to Command Injection via the template function.
