Redux version 0.10.0 arrived on June 13, 2015, building upon the foundation laid by version 0.9.0 released just days earlier on June 9th. Both versions, experiments in hot-reloadable Flux, cater to developers seeking predictable state management in JavaScript applications, especially those using React. Fundamentally, the core dependencies remain consistent: leveraging Babel runtime for ES6 features, Envify for environment variable substitution, Invariant assertions, and Lodash for utility functions.
The key difference lies in the expanded development toolkit in version 0.10.0. While both share common devDependencies like Babel, ESLint, React Hot Loader, and Webpack, version 0.10.0 introduces crucial testing and code coverage tools. Expect, Istanbul, JSDOM, and Mocha are incorporated, empowering developers with more robust unit testing and code coverage analysis. Mocha-jsdom specifically appears as a mean to run Mocha tests against browser-like environment.
For developers, this enhanced testing suite in 0.10.0 translates to a more reliable and maintainable library. The addition of Expect for assertions and Istanbul for code coverage provides a safety net during development, ensuring fewer regressions and better code quality. While 0.9.0 provided a solid base, the expanded testing capabilities of 0.10.0 makes it a preferable choice for those prioritizing code quality, maintainability, and a more confident development workflow.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 0.10.0 of the package
Prototype Pollution in lodash
Versions of lodash before 4.17.12 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. The function defaultsDeep allows a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object via {constructor: {prototype: {...}}} causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Update to version 4.17.12 or later.
Prototype Pollution in lodash
Versions of lodash before 4.17.5 are vulnerable to prototype pollution.
The vulnerable functions are 'defaultsDeep', 'merge', and 'mergeWith' which allow a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object via __proto__ causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Update to version 4.17.5 or later.
Prototype Pollution in lodash
Versions of lodash before 4.17.11 are vulnerable to prototype pollution.
The vulnerable functions are 'defaultsDeep', 'merge', and 'mergeWith' which allow a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object via {constructor: {prototype: {...}}} causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Update to version 4.17.11 or later.
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in lodash
lodash prior to 4.7.11 is affected by: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption. The impact is: Denial of service. The component is: Date handler. The attack vector is: Attacker provides very long strings, which the library attempts to match using a regular expression. The fixed version is: 4.7.11.
Prototype Pollution in lodash
Versions of lodash prior to 4.17.19 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. The functions pick, set, setWith, update, updateWith, and zipObjectDeep allow a malicious user to modify the prototype of Object if the property identifiers are user-supplied. Being affected by this issue requires manipulating objects based on user-provided property values or arrays.
This vulnerability causes the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects and may lead to Denial of Service or Code Execution under specific circumstances.
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in lodash
All versions of package lodash prior to 4.17.21 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the toNumber, trim and trimEnd functions.
Steps to reproduce (provided by reporter Liyuan Chen):
var lo = require('lodash');
function build_blank(n) {
var ret = "1"
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
ret += " "
}
return ret + "1";
}
var s = build_blank(50000) var time0 = Date.now();
lo.trim(s)
var time_cost0 = Date.now() - time0;
console.log("time_cost0: " + time_cost0);
var time1 = Date.now();
lo.toNumber(s) var time_cost1 = Date.now() - time1;
console.log("time_cost1: " + time_cost1);
var time2 = Date.now();
lo.trimEnd(s);
var time_cost2 = Date.now() - time2;
console.log("time_cost2: " + time_cost2);
Command Injection in lodash
lodash versions prior to 4.17.21 are vulnerable to Command Injection via the template function.
