Overview
Affected versions of parsejson
are vulnerable to a regular expression denial of service when parsing untrusted user input.
Remediation
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.
