PostCSS is a widely-used JavaScript tool designed for transforming styles using a variety of plugins. Comparing versions 8.4.9 and 8.4.10, developers will find only subtle differences, suggesting a minor patch release. Both versions share the same core dependencies: nanoid for unique ID generation, picocolors for terminal styling, and source-map-js for source map handling, indicating consistent functionality related to ID generation, console output, and debugging capabilities. The license remains MIT, offering developers flexibility in usage.
The repository details and author information are identical, meaning the package is still maintained by the same team and located in the same GitHub repository. Both versions also encourage funding through Open Collective and Tidelift, showing continued support for the project's sustainability. The fileCount in the dist object remains at 54 but unpackedSize increases of 1 byte in version 8.4.10, potentially hinting at a very minor code optimization or documentation update.
Crucially, the release dates are very close, with version 8.4.10 released just minutes after 8.4.9. This rapid succession suggests a quick fix or a minor adjustment following the initial release. Developers upgrading from 8.4.9 to 8.4.10 can likely expect a seamless transition, with no major API changes or significant feature additions. This update is likely focused on stability and minor refinements rather than introducing new functionality.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 8.4.10 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.
