CVE Volume Surges Past 48,000 in 2025 as WordPress Plugin Ecosystem Drives Growth
CVE disclosures hit a record 48,185 in 2025, driven largely by vulnerabilities in third-party WordPress plugins.
This was originally just an adoption of a browser library to node.js.
Since that library is now itself a node.js module, you should use that one: alexei/sprintf.js
Or just install it via npm:
npm install sprintf-js
There is also a built-in util.format.
This package is not maintained anymore. See Disclaimer above.
npm install sprintf
Works exactly like http://www.diveintojavascript.com/projects/javascript-sprintf, except that it exports those two functions:
sprintf = require('sprintf').sprintf;
vsprintf = require('sprintf').vsprintf;
Have fun!
