Lint-staged is a popular npm package that helps developers automatically lint files staged in Git, ensuring code quality and consistency before commits. Comparing versions 6.0.0 and 5.0.0 reveals subtle but important updates for developers. Both versions share core dependencies like pify, chalk, execa, and lodash, indicating a stable foundation for handling asynchronous operations, terminal styling, process execution, and utility functions.
The key difference lies within the devDependencies. Version 6.0.0 sees an upgrade to prettier from version 1.7.4 to 1.8.2, this ensures that the code formatting adheres to the latest standards and rules defined by the prettier package. Version 6.0.0 also introduces a newer version of consolemock and a new dependency, stringify-object. These point towards enhancements in testing capabilities and object serialization. These upgrades, especially of prettier, directly impact developers by automating code formatting, promoting consistency across the codebase, and potentially resolving compatibility issues with newer linting rules. While the core functionality remains consistent, version 6.0.0 offers refined tools for development, particularly in code formatting and testing, that enhance the overall workflow. Developers using lint-staged should consider upgrading to the newer version to take advantage of these improvements.

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.
