Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for node-moment.

CVE-2022-31129[0]:
| moment is a JavaScript date library for parsing, validating,
| manipulating, and formatting dates. Affected versions of moment were
| found to use an inefficient parsing algorithm. Specifically using
| string-to-date parsing in moment (more specifically rfc2822 parsing,
| which is tried by default) has quadratic (N^2) complexity on specific
| inputs. Users may notice a noticeable slowdown is observed with inputs
| above 10k characters. Users who pass user-provided strings without
| sanity length checks to moment constructor are vulnerable to (Re)DoS
| attacks. The problem is patched in 2.29.4, the patch can be applied to
| all affected versions with minimal tweaking. Users are advised to
| upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should consider limiting date lengths
| accepted from user input.
