Library home page: https://registry.npmjs.org/serialize-javascript/-/serialize-javascript-1.9.1.tgz
Path to dependency file: /tmp/ws-scm/dhis2-period/package.json
Path to vulnerable library: /tmp/ws-scm/dhis2-period/node_modules/serialize-javascript/package.json
Dependency Hierarchy: - copy-webpack-plugin-5.0.4.tgz (Root Library) - :x: **serialize-javascript-1.9.1.tgz** (Vulnerable Library)
Found in HEAD commit: 4c2d2a0e9dfecc55cecd27c3a2b67ecaa677ab19
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.
