Upgrade Moment.js to Version 2.19.3 to Mitigate RDoS Vulnerability
The Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability in earlier versions of Moment.js allows attackers to exploit certain regex patterns, leading to potential denial of service. Upgrading to version 2.19.3 resolves this issue by implementing safer regex patterns and improving overall library performance.
