CVE-2019-16772

regular expressions Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in serialize-to-js

Published Dec 6, 2019 CVSS 3.1 · 3.1 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The serialize-to-js NPM package before version 3.0.1 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.
