React version 0.7.0, released in May 2013, builds upon the foundation laid by version 0.6.3, released in October 2012, while maintaining the core purpose of simplifying asynchronous Javascript code. Both versions offer a lightweight rules engine to reduce boilerplate, improve error handling, and manage task dependencies. A notable update lies in the dependencies. Version 0.7.0 advances the amdefine dependency from ~0.0.2 to ~0.0.5 and eventemitter2 from ~0.4.1 to ~0.4.11, potentially introducing new features or bug fixes within those libraries. On the development side, the newer version upgrades chai from ~1.2.0 to ~1.6.0, jake from ~0.3.16 to ~0.5.15, mocha from ~1.4.2 to ~1.10.0 and requirejs from ~2.0.6 to ~2.1.6. These upgrades offer developers enhancements during testing and build processes. The core functionality remains focused on streamlining asynchronous workflows, but developers should be aware of the updated dependency versions when upgrading, consulting the changelogs for amdefine, eventemitter2, chai, jake, mocha, and requirejs to check for potential breaking changes or new features that can be leveraged. The repository URL also changed from git:// to http://, which may affect cloning via some tools.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 0.7.0 of the package
Cross-Site Scripting in react
Versions of react
prior to 0.14.0 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The package's createElement
function fails to properly validate its input object, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser.
Upgrade to version 0.14.0 or later.
