Socket Releases Free Certified Patches for Critical vm2 Sandbox Escape
A critical vm2 sandbox escape can allow untrusted JavaScript to break isolation and execute commands on the host Node.js process.
Manage git repositories with semantic versioning
git-semver is a node module (and command line program) for managing git
repositories using semantic versioning. It's basically just a nice git API
that understands semantic versioning.
Open a local repository, select the latest tag that matches "~1.1.8" and check it's contents out into the repository's work tree.
var git = require('git-semver');
git.repository('path/to/repository')
.latest('~1.1.8')
.checkout(function (err, ref) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
process.exit(1);
}
});
The API is built around events and streams. Most methods
return an event emitter and accept an optional callback that fires once the
underlying emitter emits an end event or raises an error.
This allows for succinct code, that chains multiple methods (hello demeter) synchronously and waits until the asynchronous operations finish.
Most operations start from the repository class.
Once instantiated the repository tries to resolve it's .git directory and
– it its not a "bare" repository – the work tree.
