Lint-staged is a popular npm package designed to streamline development workflows by running linters against only the files staged in Git. Comparing versions 3.3.0 and 3.2.9, the core functionality and dependencies remain consistent indicating evolutionary approach. Both versions share the same set of core dependencies like 'execa' for executing commands, 'listr' for elegant task management, 'which' for locating executables, 'minimatch' for file pattern matching, 'npm-which' for finding npm modules, 'cosmiconfig' for configuration file handling, 'app-root-path' for resolving paths and 'staged-git-files' for identifying staged files. Same is true for the package's devDependencies ('mocha','eslint','expect','rewire','jsonlint','npm-check','babel-core','is-promise','pre-commit','jsonlint-cli','babel-register','semantic-release','babel-preset-es2015','babel-preset-stage-0','eslint-config-okonet' and 'cz-conventional-changelog'), which suggests that the package did not go through any major upgrade, refactoring or testing infrastructure-wise.
The primary difference lies in the release date, with version 3.3.0 being released a few hours after version 3.2.9. This suggests the changes introduced are only minor with bug fixes and potentially small enhancements. For developers, this means upgrading from 3.2.9 to 3.3.0 should be relatively safe and straightforward, with a low risk of breaking changes. Leveraging lint-staged helps maintain code quality by automatically enforcing linting rules before commits, resulting in a cleaner and more consistent codebase that ultimately improves collaboration and reduces potential errors. The package's consistent dependency structure across versions indicates a stable and well-maintained project.

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.
