ts-jest versions 17.0.1 and 17.0.2 are minor releases designed to improve the experience of using TypeScript with Jest. Both versions share the same core functionality as a preprocessor with sourcemap support, streamlining the process of testing TypeScript code within the Jest framework. They maintain identical dependencies, including essential libraries like yargs, glob-all, lodash, remap-istanbul, and source-map-support, ensuring consistent performance in areas like argument parsing, file matching, code coverage, and sourcemap handling. The developer dependencies also remain unchanged, keeping the tooling for building, testing, and linting consistent between the two versions, with dependencies such as jest, react, typescript, and various type definitions. Crucially, the peer dependencies, specifying compatible versions of jest and typescript, also remain the same.
The primary difference lies in the release date. Version 17.0.2 was released on December 1st, 2016, shortly after version 17.0.1 which was released on November 30th, 2016. While the data doesn't explicitly outline specific bug fixes or enhancements in 17.0.2, the rapid release suggests that it likely addresses a small set of issues or improvements identified shortly after the 17.0.1 release. For developers, this suggests keeping an eye on the changelog for any of these minor releases as they often include fixes and small improvements. If encountering issues with 17.0.1, upgrading to 17.0.2 is advisable. Ultimately, both versions offer a solid foundation for integrating TypeScript and Jest, with 17.0.2 potentially providing minor stability improvements.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 17.0.2 of the package
yargs-parser Vulnerable to Prototype Pollution
Affected versions of yargs-parser are vulnerable to prototype pollution. Arguments are not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to modify the prototype of Object, causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Parsing the argument --foo.__proto__.bar baz' adds a bar property with value baz to all objects. This is only exploitable if attackers have control over the arguments being passed to yargs-parser.
Upgrade to versions 13.1.2, 15.0.1, 18.1.1 or later.
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in trim-newlines
@rkesters/gnuplot is an easy to use node module to draw charts using gnuplot and ps2pdf. The trim-newlines package before 3.0.1 and 4.x before 4.0.1 for Node.js has an issue related to regular expression denial-of-service (ReDoS) for the .end() method.
Command Injection in lodash
lodash versions prior to 4.17.21 are vulnerable to Command Injection via the template function.
Babel vulnerable to arbitrary code execution when compiling specifically crafted malicious code
Using Babel to compile code that was specifically crafted by an attacker can lead to arbitrary code execution during compilation, when using plugins that rely on the path.evaluate()or path.evaluateTruthy() internal Babel methods.
Known affected plugins are:
@babel/plugin-transform-runtime@babel/preset-env when using its useBuiltIns option@babel/helper-define-polyfill-provider, such as babel-plugin-polyfill-corejs3, babel-plugin-polyfill-corejs2, babel-plugin-polyfill-es-shims, babel-plugin-polyfill-regeneratorNo other plugins under the @babel/ namespace are impacted, but third-party plugins might be.
Users that only compile trusted code are not impacted.
The vulnerability has been fixed in @babel/traverse@7.23.2.
Babel 6 does not receive security fixes anymore (see Babel's security policy), hence there is no patch planned for babel-traverse@6.
@babel/traverse to v7.23.2 or higher. You can do this by deleting it from your package manager's lockfile and re-installing the dependencies. @babel/core >=7.23.2 will automatically pull in a non-vulnerable version.@babel/traverse and are using one of the affected packages mentioned above, upgrade them to their latest version to avoid triggering the vulnerable code path in affected @babel/traverse versions:
@babel/plugin-transform-runtime v7.23.2@babel/preset-env v7.23.2@babel/helper-define-polyfill-provider v0.4.3babel-plugin-polyfill-corejs2 v0.4.6babel-plugin-polyfill-corejs3 v0.8.5babel-plugin-polyfill-es-shims v0.10.0babel-plugin-polyfill-regenerator v0.5.3
