Affected packages

• npm js-yaml: < 3.13.0 → fixed in 3.13.0

Description

Versions of `js-yaml` prior to 3.13.0 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. By parsing a carefully-crafted YAML file, the node process stalls and may exhaust system resources leading to a Denial of Service. Recommendation Upgrade to version 3.13.0.
