Current version of the levelup dependency for this project has a known security vulnerability

[jgw96]

A user opened an issue on our repo about the semver package having a security vulnerability stenciljs/core#568. After researching it we found that this was coming from a very old version of the levelup package that browserify-fs relies on.

Is this something you expect you might have an ETA for a fix for or is the project abandoned?

so the actual issue is about updating levelup to version 2.0.0, a pull request doing so and making sure the tests pass would go a long way to helping this be resolved

[calvinmetcalf]

actually I take it back, updating it to 0.19.1 would probably do the trick

Updating levelup@0.19.1 will fix CVE-2015-8855 (patched in semver@>=4.3.2) but not Memory exposure in bl (patched in bl@>=0.9.5 <1.0.0 || >=1.0.1).

levelup@>=1.0.0 Is without any issues.

I've got the same security notification

└─┬ rollup-plugin-node-builtins@2.1.2
  └─┬ browserify-fs@1.0.0
    └─┬ levelup@0.18.6
      └── semver@2.3.2

Any progress on this?

Ping @mafintosh: will you consider the #15 PR, so we can get the ball rolling on fixing the security warnings in people's repositories?

[mafintosh]

Ya sure. Anyone here wanna help maintain this?

If it's just a question of pulling for this update and possibly any future such ones (at least clear-cut ones like this), I could sign on (brettz9 on npm as well).

Another issue that someone can hopefully address is that the current version of the dependency level-filesystem (1.2.0) has an outdated dependency chain of level-sublevel (5.2.3) -> xtend (2.0.6) -> object-keys (version 0.2.0, a deprecated version); see mafintosh/level-filesystem#9

Any updates with this?
