Ts-jest is a preprocessor designed to seamlessly integrate TypeScript with the Jest testing framework, enabling developers to write and test TypeScript code with ease. Comparing versions 17.0.3 and 17.0.2, the differences seem minimal from a developer perspective, suggesting a patch release focused on internal improvements or bug fixes rather than major feature additions. Both versions share the same core dependencies, including yargs, glob-all, lodash.*, remap-istanbul, source-map-support, and istanbul-lib-instrument, indicating that the fundamental functionality remains consistent. The devDependencies also mirror each other, ensuring stability and compatibility with commonly used testing and development tools like jest, react, typescript, tslint, and their respective type definitions.
The peerDependencies specification, essential for compatibility, is identical, requiring jest in the "~17.0.0" range and typescript versions "^2.0.6 || ^2.1.0-dev || ^2.2.0-dev". This implies that users need to have these specific versions (or compatible ones) of jest and typescript installed in their projects for ts-jest to function correctly. The only tangible difference lies in the release date and potentially very minor internal adjustments that don't affect the API or core functionality. For developers seeking a stable and reliable TypeScript testing environment with Jest, ts-jest offers a robust solution. Upgrading from 17.0.2 to 17.0.3 is likely a safe and recommended update, especially if encountering any specific issues that might have been addressed in the newer patch release.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 17.0.3 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
