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.
var express = require('express');
var sts = require('yasts');
var app = express();
app.use(sts(3, 'months'));
// Add other routes and initialize express app
The STS duration is parsed as a Moment.js Duration under the hood so any valid syntax will work.
An optional final boolean argument may be given to toggle the includeSubdomains flag in the header.
All of the below are valid
var sts = require('yasts');
// Will add Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=7862400000; includeSubDomains
app.use(sts(3, 'months', true));
// Will add Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=5000; includeSubDomains
app.use(sts(5000, true));
// Will add Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=604800000
app.use(sts(7, 'days'));
// Will add Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000000
app.use(sts({years: 1}));
I only found two of them and neither was up-to-date with Express 4
Because it's conventient for calculating durations and someone else keeps it up-to-date
