Summary

Request to conduct a comprehensive vulnerability scan on the lodash codebase to identify potential security issues, dependencies vulnerabilities, and ensure the library maintains its security posture.

Scope

• Static code analysis for potential security vulnerabilities
• Dependency vulnerability scanning for all npm dependencies
• Supply chain security assessment
• Code quality and security best practices review

Proposed Tools/Methods

• npm audit for dependency vulnerabilities
• Snyk security scanning
• CodeQL security analysis
• OWASP dependency check
• Manual security code review for critical functions

Key Areas to Focus On

• Input validation and sanitization functions
• Prototype pollution vulnerabilities
• Regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) patterns
• Memory exhaustion vulnerabilities
• Type confusion issues

Expected Deliverables

• Detailed vulnerability report with severity levels
• Recommendations for remediation
• Updated security documentation
• Proposed fixes for identified issues

Priority

High - Given lodash's widespread usage across the JavaScript ecosystem, maintaining security is critical for the entire community.

Additional Context

This scan should be performed regularly as part of the security maintenance process, especially before major releases.
