QID 984024

QID 984024: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for parsejson (GHSA-q75g-2496-mxpp)

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.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.

CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.5 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5 severity.
