NIST Misses 2024 Deadline to Clear NVD Backlog
NIST has failed to meet its self-imposed deadline of clearing the NVD's backlog by the end of the fiscal year. Meanwhile, CVE's awaiting analysis have increased by 33% since June.

The story behind this module is that I was trying to use underscore.js library for cloning and extending objects but it did not worked as expected, nor any other workaround or solution, so I wrote clone and extend functions from ground up for everyone's benefit.
var ce = require('cloneextend');
var o1={a:'a',d:new Date(),n:1,ar:[1,2,3]};
var o2=ce.clone(o1); //now o2 will hold a copy of o1
console.log(o2);
It allow you to do simple object inheritance.
require.paths.unshift(__dirname); //make local paths accessible
var _ = require('cloneextend');
var basic_col={type:'string',size:10,default_value:''};
var basic_model={ name:'somename', cols:{},
init:function(){this.do_something();},
do_something:function() { console.log("something"); }
};
var cars=_.cloneextend(basic_model,
{
name:'cars',
cols:
{
color:_.clone(basic_col),
speed:_.cloneextend(basic_col,{type:'number'})
}
}
);
var red_cars=_.cloneextend(cars,{
do_something:function(){console.log("my color is "+this.cols.color.default_value);},
cols:{color:{default_value:'red'}}
});
var blue_cars=_.cloneextend(red_cars,{
cols:{color:{default_value:'blue'}}
});
cars.init();
red_cars.init();
blue_cars.init();
output: something my color is red my color is blue
var _ = require('cloneextend');
var obj1={apples:10};
var obj2={bananas:20};
_.extend(obj1,obj2); // merge called extend
// obj1 = {apples:10,bananas:20}
// function replace(a, b)
// for (key in b) a[key] = b[key];
var _ = require('cloneextend');
var obj1={apples:10};
var obj2={apples:20,bananas:20};
_.replace(obj1,obj2);
// obj1 = {apples:20,bananas:20}
this function does not replace elements if they are exists
// function add(a, b)
// for (key in b)
// if(typeof a[key] === 'undefined' || a[key]===null)
// a[key] = b[key];
var _ = require('cloneextend');
var obj1={apples:10};
var obj2={apples:20,bananas:20};
_.replace(obj1,obj2);
// obj1 = {apples:10,bananas:20}
this function merges second object in to the first and returns the first object by reference (objects are always reference) it replaces elements if they are exists
// function extend(a, b)
var _ = require('cloneextend');
var basket1={ apples:[{taste:'sour'},{taste:'sweet'}], fruit:'appricot' };
var basket2={ fruit:'orange', vegetable:'cucumber'};
_.extend(basket2,basket1);
// basket2 = { apples:[{taste:'sour'},{taste:'sweet'}], fruit:'appricot' , vegetable:'cucumber' }
// apples // added
// fruit // replaced
// vegetable // stayed
this function clones elements and creates new parent objects when they are missing. after the level is reached it starts to repace objects insted of creating new parents and refilling them.
it allows you to clone only the 1st level and let the second level to be references.
Rememberence trick: If you want to modify values after 2nd dot write 2 in the level
// function extenduptolevel(a, b, levels)
var _ = require('cloneextend');
var a_shared_car={color:'silver',windows:'manual'};
var obj1={ has:{ car:a_shared_car } };
var obj2={ has:{ laptop : 'hp_laptop' } }
_.extenduptolevel(obj2,obj1,2);
// obj2 = { has:{ laptop:'hp_laptop', car:a_shared_car } }
// obj1 = { has:{ car:a_shared_car } }
// So if i change she shared car it should shange the other two because they are references:
a_shared_car.windows='electric';
// obj2 = { has:{ laptop:'hp_laptop', car:{color:'silver',windows:'electric'} } }
// obj1 = { has:{ car:{color:'silver',windows:'electric'} } }
// function clone(obj)
// extend({}, obj);
var _ = require('cloneextend');
var obj1={fruit:'apple'};
var newobj1=_.clone(obj1);
// obj1 = {fruit:'apple'}
// newobj1 = {fruit:'apple'}
// function cloneextend(obj,exteddata)
// extend(clone(obj),exteddata);
var _ = require('cloneextend');
var salad_basic={fruit:'apple'};
var new_salad_v1=_.cloneextend(salad_basic,{syrop:'maple syrop'});
var new_salad_v2=_.cloneextend(salad_basic,{syrop:'chocolate syrop'});
// new_salad_v1 = {fruit:'apple',syrop:'maple syrop'}
// new_salad_v2 = {fruit:'apple',syrop:'chocolate syrop'}
// // clone only numlevels levels other levels leave references
// function cloneuptolevel(obj,level)
// extenduptolevel({}, obj, levels)
var _ = require('cloneextend');
var a_shared_car={color:'silver',windows:'manual'};
var obj1={ has:{ car:a_shared_car } };
var obj2=_.cloneuptolevel(obj2,2);
// obj1 = { has:{ car:a_shared_car } }
// obj2 = { has:{ car:a_shared_car } }
// Again if i change she shared car it should shange the other two because they are references:
a_shared_car.windows='electric';
// obj1 = { has:{ car:{color:'silver',windows:'electric'} } }
// obj2 = { has:{ laptop:'hp_laptop', car:{color:'silver',windows:'electric'} } }
