Redux version 0.8.1 represents a minor update over its predecessor, version 0.8.0, both releases occurring on the same day, June 6th, 2015. Both versions share identical core functionalities, dependencies, and development dependencies, indicating that the update likely contains bug fixes or minor improvements rather than significant feature additions. For developers using Redux, this suggests a highly stable and consistent experience between the two versions.
Redux, at its core, is described as an "experiment in fully hot-reloadable Flux," a concept that would have been particularly appealing to developers working in React ecosystems at the time. Hot-reloading allows for code changes to be reflected in the application without requiring a full page refresh, significantly improving the development workflow. The inclusion of React as a core dependency solidifies Redux's position as a tool designed with React developers in mind.
The development dependencies reveal the tools used in building and testing Redux itself. These include Babel for transpiling ES6+ code, ESLint for code linting, and Webpack for bundling. The presence of react-hot-loader further emphasizes the focus on hot-reloading during development.
Given the minimal version bump and the shared dependencies, transitioning from 0.8.0 to 0.8.1 should be a straightforward process. Developers already using Redux 0.8.0 should consider upgrading to 0.8.1 for potential stability enhancements. The MIT license ensures developers have the freedom to use, modify, and distribute Redux as needed. The presence of Dan Abramov as the author further adds credibility, as he is a well-known figure in the JavaScript and React communities.

All the vulnerabilities related to the version 0.8.1 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.
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.
