Vulnerable Package issue exists @ Npm-js-yaml-3.5.5 in branch master
The package js-yaml before 3.13.0 is vulnerable to Denial of service as the function storeMappingPair() in file lib/js-yaml/loader.js, doesn't limit the user supplied yaml, causing the map key to grow exponentially. giving out a huge amount of output data, leading to denial of service due to excessive memory usage. This affects the availability.
