PostCSS version 8.2.14 represents a minor update to the popular CSS transformation tool, building upon the foundation laid by version 8.2.13. Both versions share the same core dependencies, including "nanoid" for generating unique IDs, "colorette" for adding color to console output, and "source-map" for debugging. Developers can confidently rely on the familiar API and functionality of PostCSS across both versions.
The key difference lies in the internal improvements and bug fixes incorporated within the later release. Version 8.2.14, released on May 5th, 2021, features a slightly larger unpacked size of 181321 bytes compared to version 8.2.13's 180969 bytes. This incremental increase suggests that the update includes code refinements or additions that enhance the overall stability or performance of the tool.
While the changelog details are not provided in the metadata, the release date difference indicates a period of focused development and refinement of the library. It is recommended for developers to upgrade to version 8.2.14 to benefit from the latest enhancements and ensure compatibility with other tools in their workflow. PostCSS continues to provide a powerful and extensible Javascript-based tool for modern CSS development and workflows, empowering developers to transform CSS with custom plugins. Users can install the up-to-date versions via npm and other popular package managers.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 8.2.14 of the package
PostCSS line return parsing error
An issue was discovered in PostCSS before 8.4.31. It affects linters using PostCSS to parse external Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). There may be \r discrepancies, as demonstrated by @font-face{ font:(\r/*);} in a rule.
This vulnerability affects linters using PostCSS to parse external untrusted CSS. An attacker can prepare CSS in such a way that it will contains parts parsed by PostCSS as a CSS comment. After processing by PostCSS, it will be included in the PostCSS output in CSS nodes (rules, properties) despite being originally included in a comment.
