GitHub Security Advisory

Regular Expression Denial of Service in parsejson

✓ GitHub Reviewed HIGH Has CVE

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.

Affected Packages

npm parsejson
Affected versions: 0 (last affected: 0.0.3)
