👋

I've been looking at this CVE-2018-14732, and also the corresponding NPM Advisory: https://www.npmjs.com/advisories/725

It seems like this should be added into this repo? I'd be happy to submit a PR if ya'll agree. Not sure I understand all the policies of this repo, is it ideally supposed to contain all the public NPM CVEs?

Also, there is a problem with the CVE Data and the Advisory in NPM too. This comment outlines the problem. The CVE/NPM Advisory claim this is fixed in web pack-dev-server 3.1.6, but it is not. The fix is in an un-merged branch. All that is needed for a fix is a PR and a release, but not clear if the maintainers are going to do that. I'm looking for any help to either get the CVE corrected and/or get a patch released.

webpack-dev-server is widely used, though in a development context. The exploitability of this is not clear to me. Can someone backup the maintainers claim that the exploitability of this is low?

Much thanks 🙇

The maintainer just released 3.1.11 with a fix for this, and thus I opened this PR to add this CVE into this dataset: #461

Thanks @rschultheis for letting us know.
We don't aim to pro-actively collect and cover all the security advisories across the npm ecosystem that aren't reported directly to us. That said, we'd be happy accept any PRs to the vulnerability database to further enhance it even if these hadn't been reported to our HackerOne program.

I appreciate you jumping on the repo and sharing and PRing this.
Thank you! ❤️

update webpack-dev-server dependency version
efbce22 
webpack-dev-server 3.1.10 has a security vulnerability[1] that was
fixed on 3.1.11. That version is retrocompatible, so this patch
simply bumps the dependency.
