GHSA-3pcq-34w5-p4g2
modern-async's `forEachSeries` and `forEachLimit` functions do not limit the number of requests
Quick fix
GHSA-3pcq-34w5-p4g2 — modern-async: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install modern-async@1.0.4Details
### Impact
This is a bug affecting two of the functions in this library: `forEachSeries` and `forEachLimit`. They should limit the concurrency of some actions but, in practice, they don't. Any code calling these functions will be written thinking they would limit the concurrency but they won't. This could lead to potential security issues in other projects.
### Patches
The problem has been patched in 1.0.4.
### Workarounds
There is no workaround aside from upgrading to 1.0.4.
