Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for node-serialize-javascript.

CVE-2024-11831[0]:
| A flaw was found in npm-serialize-javascript. The vulnerability
| occurs because the serialize-javascript module does not properly
| sanitize certain inputs, such as regex or other JavaScript object
| types, allowing an attacker to inject malicious code. This code
| could be executed when deserialized by a web browser, causing Cross-
| site scripting (XSS) attacks. This issue is critical in environments
| where serialized data is sent to web clients, potentially
| compromising the security of the website or web application using
| this package.
