Advisory Details
Affected versions of `parsejson` are vulnerable to a regular expression denial of service when parsing untrusted user input.
## Recommendation
The `parsejson` package has not been functionally updated since it was initially released.
Additionally, it provides functionality which is natively included in Node.js, and therefore the native `JSON.parse()` should be used, for both performance and security reasons.
