Welcome to Depfu 👋

This is one of the first three pull requests with dependency updates we've sent your way. We tried to start with a few easy patch-level updates. Hopefully your tests will pass and you can merge this pull request without too much risk. This should give you an idea how Depfu works in general.

After you merge your first pull request, we'll send you a few more. We'll never open more than seven PRs at the same time so you're not getting overwhelmed with updates.

Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks so much for giving Depfu a try!

🚨 Your version of json has known security vulnerabilities 🚨

Advisory: CVE-2020-10663
Disclosed: March 19, 2020
URL: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2020/03/19/json-dos-cve-2020-10663/

Unsafe Object Creation Vulnerability in JSON (Additional fix)

When parsing certain JSON documents, the json gem (including the one bundled with Ruby) can be coerced into creating arbitrary objects in the target system.

This is the same issue as CVE-2013-0269. The previous fix was incomplete, which addressed JSON.parse(user_input), but didn’t address some other styles of JSON parsing including JSON(user_input) and JSON.parse(user_input, nil).

See CVE-2013-0269 in detail. Note that the issue was exploitable to cause a Denial of Service by creating many garbage-uncollectable Symbol objects, but this kind of attack is no longer valid because Symbol objects are now garbage-collectable. However, creating arbitrary objects may cause severe security consequences depending upon the application code.

Please update the json gem to version 2.3.0 or later. You can use gem update json to update it. If you are using bundler, please add gem "json", ">= 2.3.0" to your Gemfile.

🚨 We recommend to merge and deploy this update as soon as possible! 🚨

👉 No CI detected

You don't seem to have any Continuous Integration service set up!

Without a service that will test the Depfu branches and pull requests, we can't inform you if incoming updates actually work with your app. We think that this degrades the service we're trying to provide down to a point where it is more or less meaningless.

This is fine if you just want to give Depfu a quick try. If you want to really let Depfu help you keep your app up-to-date, we recommend setting up a CI system:

• Circle CI, Semaphore and Travis-CI are all excellent options.
• If you use something like Jenkins, make sure that you're using the Github integration correctly so that it reports status data back to Github.
• If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check your configuration. Make sure it will run on all new branches. If you don’t want it to run on every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with depfu/.
