`package.json`, dependencies are vulnerable to supply-chain attacks #4

Open MidSpike opened 2 years ago

MidSpike commented 2 years ago

Looking at the package.json has led me to the following findings:

`package.json`, dependency versions are vulnerable to supply-chain attacks:
- barely-patched in 8.1.1, semi-patched in 10.1.3
- however 10.1.3 still contains `strong-type: ^1.0.1` along with unfixed devDependencies
- additionally node-cmd, js-queue, js-message, event-pubsub, strong-type are all owned by riaevangelist

The reason behind calling these "vulnerable to supply-chain attacks" stems from @RIAEvangelist:

For the reasons stated above, I believe that any code currently contained in this repository that uses packages maintained by @RIAEvangelist are at risk of a supply-chain attack.
