Critical Vulnerability in NestJS Devtools: Localhost RCE via Sandbox Escape
A flawed sandbox in @nestjs/devtools-integration lets attackers run code on your machine via CSRF, leading to full Remote Code Execution (RCE).
vue-accessible-color-picker
Advanced tools
A color picker component for Vue.js.
Links:
Install the package (and its peer dependencies).
npm install vue-accessible-color-picker
Note: this custom element uses vue under the hood. This dependency is a peer dependency and will have to be installed as well.
In a Vue single file component, import the ColorPicker
component and its styles (if you want to use them).
<template>
<ColorPicker />
</template>
<script setup>
import { ColorPicker } from 'vue-accessible-color-picker'
</script>
<style>
@import url('vue-accessible-color-picker/styles');
</style>
When using Vue’s composition API, you can directly use the component in the file’s template
section once you import it.
You can also register the component and import the styles globally.

This package uses semantic versioning.
The color picker consists of the following main elements:
Color space:
For fine-tuning the saturation and lightness/value, a slice of the HSV cylinder for the currently selected hue is shown.
The HSV cylinder is more convenient for this task than the HSL cylinder as it shows a color at 100% saturation and 100% value in the top right corner (i.e. one can drag the color space thumb into the corner as a quasi shortcut). The HSL cylinder’s slice has this color at the halfway point of the Y axis (i.e. at 50% lightness) which isn’t easy to select.
Hue slider:
A slider for selecting the current hue. This rotates the HSV cylinder; thus, it changes the slice of the HSV cylinder that’s shown in the color space.
Alpha slider:
A slider for selecting the current alpha value.
Copy button:
Copies the color formatted as a CSS color string in the active format.
Color inputs:
A set of text fields which allow you to enter the individual components of each color. The text fields are shown based on the active format.
Switch format button:
Cycles through the available color formats (currently HEX, HSL, HWB, and RGB).
