xss-filters VS Retire.js

As you can see in the snippet above, whatever the user puts in the search field, if not found in the database, will be sent back to the user in an unchanged form. What that means is that if an attacker puts JavaScript code instead of the product name in your search bar, the same JavaScript code will be executed. To validate the User input!You can use validator js or xss-filters for that.

Retire.js

In order to prevent this issue, your organization needs to implement regular checks of your dependencies against the CVE database for known vulnerabilities, as well as establishing a process for keeping all dependencies up-to-date. Fortunately, much of this can be automated using vulnerability scanning tools, such as the OWASP Dependency Check, RetireJS, or Brakeman. Additional tools, such as WhiteSource's Renovate, provide a complete dependency management solution by automatically updating any found vulnerabilities. In addition to keeping dependencies updated, it's important to remove any dependencies that are no longer being used.
