Webpack 5 before 5.76.0 does not avoid cross-realm object access. ImportParserPlugin.js mishandles the magic comment feature. An attacker who controls a property of an untrusted object can obtain access to the real global object.

[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.51.1...v5.51.2)
### Bugfixes

### [`v5.51.1`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.51.1)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.51.0...v5.51.1)
### Bugfixes
- `library: "module"` propages top-level-await correctly

### [`v5.51.0`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.51.0)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.50.0...v5.51.0)
### Bugfixes
- correctly keep chunk loading state when the chunk loading logic is HMR updated
- This fixes some edge cases that e. g. occur when using lazy compilation for entrypoints. It is now able to HMR update that instead of needing a manual reload. Also see fixes in webpack-dev-server@4.
- track and resolve symlinks for filesystem snapshotting
- This fixes some cases of circular `yarn link`ing of dependencies.
- It also fixes some problems when using package managers that use symlinks to deduplicate (e. g. cnpm or pnpm)
- pass the resulting module in the callbacks of `Compilation.addModuleChain` and `Compilation.addModuleTree`
### [`v5.50.0`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.50.0)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.49.0...v5.50.0)

- https://github.com/tc39/proposal-hashbang
### Performance

- I could still be enabled again for specific scenarios

- This improves performance and memory usage
### [`v5.49.0`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.49.0)
[Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.48.0...v5.49.0)
### Features
- add `experiments.buildHttp` to build `http(s)://` imports instead of keeping them external
- keeps a `webpack.lock` file with integrity and `webpack.lock.data` with cached content that should be committed
- Automatically upgrades lockfile during development when remote resources change
(might be disabled with `experiments.buildHttp.upgrade: false`)
- Lockfile is frozen during production builds and usually no network requests are made
(exception: `Cache-Control: no-cache`).
- The `webpack.lock.data` persisting can be disabled with `experiments.buildHttp.cacheLocation: false`.
That will will introduce a availability risk.
(webpack cache will be used to cache network responses)
### Bugfixes

##### Bugfixes
- fix handling of build dependencies with `#` in path
##### Performance
- improve memory usage when using the filesystem cache
> When reading a file into a Buffer and picking smaller slices of the Buffer
> the small slices still keep a reference to the large original Buffer.
> The leads to increased memory usage. A fix would be to clone the slice into
> a smaller Buffer when wasting too much memory, but this has a performance cost.
> There is now a new option `cache.allowCollectingMemory` which controls that.
> For one-off builds you probably want `allowCollectingMemory: false` and
> for watch builds you probably want `allowCollectingMemory: true`.
> It defaults to false in production mode and true in development mode.

##### Bugfixes
- Persistent Caching
- fix caching crash when using fsevents in build dependencies
- improve resolving of build dependencies when `exports` field is used
- make problems during resolving build dependencies warnings instead of debug messages
- prioritize static reexport over runtime reexport for target determination
- This helps in optimization by no longer opting out of optimization when some other exports any dynamic (from commonjs or empty/type-only modules)
- fix bug with subtraction of runtimes
- This fixes a problem with concatenated modules in builds with multiple runtimes and force-merged shared chunks
- ensure that entrypoints are always re-executed when HMR-updated
- This fixes no longer updating pages when the entrypoint crashed

CVE-2023-28154
Webpack 5 before 5.76.0 does not avoid cross-realm object access. ImportParserPlugin.js mishandles the magic comment feature. An attacker who controls a property of an untrusted object can obtain access to the real global object.

add options for default `dynamicImportMode` and prefetch and preload - add support for `import { createRequire } from "module"` in source code ### Bugfixes - fix code generation of e. g. `return"field"in Module` - fix performance of large JSON modules - fix performance of async modules evaluation ### Developer Experience - export `PathData` in typings - improve error messages with more details ### [`v5.72.1`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.72.1) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.72.0...v5.72.1) ### Bugfixes - fix `__webpack_nonce__` with HMR - fix `in` operator in some cases - fix json parsing error messages - fix module concatenation with using `this.importModule` - upgrade enhanced-resolve ### [`v5.72.0`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.72.0) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.71.0...v5.72.0) ### Features - make cache warnings caused by build errors less verbose - Allow banner to be placed as a footer with the BannerPlugin - allow to concatenate asset modules ### Bugfixes - fix RemoteModules when using HMR (Module Federation + HMR) - throw error when using module concatenation and cacheUnaffected - fix `in` operator with nested exports ### [`v5.71.0`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.71.0) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.70.0...v5.71.0) ### Features - choose smarter default for `uniqueName` when using a `output.library` which includes placeholders - add support for expressions with `in` of a imported binding - generate UMD code with arrow functions when possible ### Bugfixes - fix source map source names for ContextModule to be relative - fix `chunkLoading` option in module module - fix edge case where `evaluateExpression` returns `null` - retain optional chaining in imported bindings - include runtime code for the base URI even if not using chunk loading - don't throw errors in persistent caching when importing node.js builtin modules via ESM - fix crash when using `lazy-once` Context modules - improve handling of context modules with multiple contexts - fix race condition HMR chunk loading when importing chunks during HMR updating - handle errors in `runAsChild` callback ### [`v5.70.0`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.70.0) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.69.1...v5.70.0) ##### Features - update node.js version constraints for ESM support - add `baseUri` to `entry` options to configure a static base uri (the base of `new URL()`) - alphabetically sort exports in namespace objects when possible - add `__webpack_exports_info__.name.canMangle` - add proxy support to `experiments.buildHttp` - `import.meta.webpackContext` as ESM alternative to `require.context` - handle multiple alternative directories (e. g. due to resolve.alias or resolve.modules) when creating an context module ##### Bugfixes - fix problem when assigning `global` to a variable - fix crash when using `experiments.outputModule` and `loaderContext.importModule` with multiple chunks - avoid generating progress output before the compilation has started (ProgressPlugin) - fix handling of non-static-ESM dependencies with using TLA and HMR in the same module - include the asset module filename in hashing - `output.clean` will keep HMR assets for at least 10s to allow HMR to access them even when compilation is faster then the browser ##### Performance - fix asset caching when using the BannerPlugin ##### Developer Experience - improve typings ##### Contributing - capture caching errors when running the test suite ### [`v5.69.1`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.69.1) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.69.0...v5.69.1) ### Revert - revert "handle multiple alternative directories (e. g. due to resolve.alias or resolve.modules) when creating an context module" ### [`v5.69.0`](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/releases/tag/v5.69.0) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/webpack/webpack/compare/v5.68.0...v5.69.0) ### Features - automatically switch to an ESM compatible environment when enabling ESM output mode - handle multiple alternative directories (e. g. due to `resolve.alias` or `resolve.modules`) when creating an context module - add `util/types` to node.js built-in modules - add `__webpack_exports_info__.Configuration
