🦉 Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)

[github-snyk-ca]

This major version upgrade from React 0.14 to 15.0 introduces significant internal changes to how React interacts with the DOM, which could impact testing and specific styling selectors.

Key Changes:

• DOM Structure Changes:

  • The data-reactid attribute is no longer rendered on every DOM node. This makes the DOM lighter but will break any tests or selectors that rely on this attribute. [2, 5]
  • React no longer wraps text-only components in extra <span> tags. This can affect CSS selectors or tests that depended on this specific structure. [2, 3]
  • Rendering null now creates a comment node instead of an empty <span>. [2, 5]

• Browser Support: Active support for Internet Explorer 8 is discontinued. While the library may still work, new issues specific to IE8 will not be prioritized. [2, 3]

• Internal Improvements: The initial render now uses document.createElement instead of innerHTML, which is faster in modern browsers and improves SVG support. [1, 2, 8]

Recommendation: The risk is assessed as medium because automated tests (especially integration tests using XPath or specific CSS selectors) may fail due to the changes in the rendered DOM structure. It is critical to verify that your test suites do not rely on data-reactid or the previous <span> wrapping behavior.
