Lint-staged is a popular npm package designed to streamline development workflows by running linters against only the files staged in Git, ensuring code quality and consistency before commits. Comparing versions 3.2.7 and 3.2.8 reveals a subtle yet crucial update for developers. Both versions share identical dependencies and devDependencies, including essential tools like execa for executing commands, listr for creating elegant task lists, cosmiconfig for configuration file handling, and linters like eslint. This consistency means core functionality remains the same: lint-staged efficiently identifies staged files, applies configured linters (specified in your project's configuration), and presents the results in a clear, user-friendly interface.
The primary difference lies in the release date. Version 3.2.8 was released on January 24, 2017, while version 3.2.7 was released a week prior, on January 18, 2017. Given the identical dependencies and devDependencies, the update likely involves internal bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor refinements that don't necessitate changes to the package's declared dependencies. While not groundbreaking, such updates are essential for maintaining a stable and reliable tool. For developers already using lint-staged, upgrading to 3.2.8 ensures they benefit from any subtle enhancements. If you're new to lint-staged, starting with the latest version (3.2.8 at the time of this data) is recommended to leverage the most up-to-date iteration.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 3.2.8 of the package
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in cross-spawn
Versions of the package cross-spawn before 7.0.5 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) due to improper input sanitization. An attacker can increase the CPU usage and crash the program by crafting a very large and well crafted string.
