Affected packages
• npm tesseract.js: < 1.0.19 → fixed in 1.0.19
Description
Versions of `tesseract.js` prior to 1.0.19 default to using a third-party proxy. Requests may be proxied through `crossorigin.me` which clearly states is not suitable for production use. This may lead to instability and privacy violations.
Recommendation
Upgrade to version 1.0.19 or later.
