Jsdoc-api version 5.0.4 is a minor update to the programmatic interface for JSDoc, offering developers a robust way to interact with JSDoc functionality. Comparing it with the previous stable version, 5.0.3, several key differences emerge. Most notably, cache-point dependency received an update from version 0.4.1 to version 1.0.0 what means that the caching mechanism used internally by jsdoc-api has been enhanced. Additionally, coveralls dev dependency was bumped from 3.0.6 to 3.0.7. Furthermore, jsdoc-to-markdown a development dependency was updated from version 5.0.0 to 5.0.2, potentially improving the documentation generation capabilities associated with jsdoc-api usage during development.
While the core functionality probably remains largely consistent, these updates likely provide performance improvements, bug fixes, or enhanced stability. For developers using jsdoc-api, upgrading to version 5.0.4 ensures they benefit from the latest improvements in caching, code coverage reporting, and documentation generation tooling, streamlining their JSDoc integration workflows. The library remains MIT licensed.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 5.0.4 of the package
TaffyDB can allow access to any data items in the DB
TaffyDB allows attackers to forge adding additional properties into user-input processed by taffy which can allow access to any data items in the DB. Taffy sets an internal index for each data item in its DB. However, it is found that the internal index can be forged by adding additional properties into user-input. If index is found in the query, TaffyDB will ignore other query conditions and directly return the indexed data item. Moreover, the internal index is in an easily-guessable format (e.g., T000002R000001). As such, attackers can use this vulnerability to access any data items in the DB. Note: taffy and its successor package taffydb are not maintained.
