Expected behaviour
No vulnerabilities reported :)
Actual behaviour
Blackduck scanner report a HIGH severity alert (CVE-2019-10744 for a dependency (lodash.omitby/4.6.0) used by pact.
Thanks, are you interested in fixing this? Either by upgrading the dependency or replacing omitBy
with another function?
FWIW you should consider and discuss whether or not a developer dependency is really exploitable and a HIGH severity risk (I bet it isn't).
Hi @mefellows , I am one of @Rufei77 's colleagues and I'm here to help her raise a PR to fix this issue. The PR #1175 is already linked here. Please take your time to have a look and feel free to give feedbacks.
Further to discuss, lodash
is not actively maintained now. As times going, more and more security risks would possibly be reported by vulnerability scanning tools like Snyk, BlackDuck and no one would go to take care of them! In my perspective, it is worthwhile to retire all lodash
dependencies and replace with alternatives. I noticed that ramda
is also listed in dependencies. It is a good choice.
I think this may be closed now that the other item has been merged and released - thanks for the PR! Closing.
