Library home page: https://registry.npmjs.org/serialize-javascript/-/serialize-javascript-1.5.0.tgz

Path to dependency file: /circleci-docs/package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /node_modules/serialize-javascript/package.json

Dependency Hierarchy: - uglifyjs-webpack-plugin-2.0.1.tgz (Root Library) - :x: **serialize-javascript-1.5.0.tgz** (Vulnerable Library)

Vulnerability Details

The serialize-javascript npm package before version 2.1.1 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). It does not properly mitigate against unsafe characters in serialized regular expressions. This vulnerability is not affected on Node.js environment since Node.js's implementation of RegExp.prototype.toString() backslash-escapes all forward slashes in regular expressions. If serialized data of regular expression objects are used in an environment other than Node.js, it is affected by this vulnerability.
