Vue Template Compiler version 2.4.4 represents a minor update over its predecessor, version 2.4.3. Both versions serve as template compilers specifically tailored for Vue 2.0, enabling developers to transform Vue templates into render functions that the Vue runtime environment can understand and execute. From a dependency perspective, both versions share identical requirements, relying on "he" for HTML entity encoding/decoding and "de-indent" for removing unnecessary indentation from code blocks. This consistency suggests that improvements in version 2.4.4 likely focus on internal optimizations, bug fixes, or minor feature enhancements within the compiler itself, rather than major changes to the compilation process.
For Vue developers, the key consideration when upgrading to 2.4.4 lies in potential stability improvements or bug resolutions. While the identical dependency list indicates a similar feature set, the newer version may offer a more refined compilation process, potentially addressing edge cases or improving performance. Developers encountering issues with template compilation in 2.4.3 should particularly consider upgrading to 2.4.4 to benefit from any bug fixes. The release date difference of approximately one day suggests a quick follow-up release, potentially hinting at a critical patch addressed in the newer version. However, without specific release notes detailing the changes, developers should approach the upgrade with standard testing procedures to ensure compatibility within their existing Vue projects.

vue-template-compiler vulnerable to client-side Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
A vulnerability has been discovered in vue-template-compiler, that allows an attacker to perform XSS via prototype pollution. The attacker could change the prototype chain of some properties such as Object.prototype.staticClass
or Object.prototype.staticStyle
to execute arbitrary JavaScript code. Vue 2 has reached End-of-Life. This vulnerability has been patched in Vue 3.
