Changelog

Sourced from fast-xml-parser's changelog.

Note: If you find missing information about particular minor version, that version must have been changed without any functional change in this library.

Note: Due to some last quick changes on v4, detail of v4.5.3 & v4.5.4 are not updated here. v4.5.4x is the last tag of v4 in github repository. I'm extremely sorry for the confusion

PR Review — chore(deps): bump fast-xml-parser and @aws-sdk/xml-builder

Reviewer: CI Factory Agent

Summary

Dependabot PR bumping two co-dependent dev dependencies:

• fast-xml-parser 5.4.1 → 5.5.8
• @aws-sdk/xml-builder 3.972.11 → 3.972.15

Analysis

Security & Bug Fixes (fast-xml-parser 5.5.x):

• Prototype pollution handling
• Entity expansion limit fixes (incorrect conditions, regex for entity name replacement)
• onDangerousProperty support for sanitizing dangerous tag/attribute names
• maxEntityCount / maxNestedTags support
• These are important security hardening changes for XML parsing.

@aws-sdk/xml-builder 3.972.12–3.972.15:

• Configures maxTotalExpansions on fast-xml-parser (security fix)
• Single-pass XML escape for improved performance
• Bumps fast-xml-parser to 5.5.8

Lockfile changes:

• Only package-lock.json modified — no source code changes
• Removed libc fields from some @biomejs/biome platform entries (lockfile regeneration artifact, harmless)
• Transitive deps updated: strnum 2.2.0 → 2.2.2, path-expression-matcher 1.1.3 → 1.2.0 (new direct dep of fast-xml-parser)

Risk Assessment

• Low risk — dev dependencies only, no source code changes
• CI (DCO) passing
• No breaking changes noted in the changelogs for this version range

Recommendation

Approve — This is a straightforward security-motivated dependency bump with no source code impact. The fast-xml-parser updates include important security fixes (prototype pollution, entity expansion limits). Safe to merge.

PR Review: chore(deps): bump fast-xml-parser and @aws-sdk/xml-builder

Summary

Dependabot PR bumping two co-dependent packages (lockfile-only changes):

• fast-xml-parser 5.4.1 → 5.5.8
• @aws-sdk/xml-builder 3.972.11 → 3.972.15

Analysis

Security fixes (important):

• Entity expansion limits and incorrect replacement fixes
• Prototype pollution handling
• Dangerous property name sanitization (onDangerousProperty, maxNestedTags, maxEntityCount)
• @aws-sdk/xml-builder now configures maxTotalExpansions on fast-xml-parser

Other changes:

• Performance improvements (single-pass XML escape, stopNode checking, DOCTYPE reading)
• New path-expression-matcher integration
• Transitive dep bumps: strnum 2.2.0 → 2.2.2, path-expression-matcher 1.1.3 → 1.2.0

Lockfile noise: Some libc field removals on optional native @rollup packages — this is a normal lockfile regeneration artifact, not a concern.

Risk: Low. Both packages are dev dependencies. Changes are lockfile-only with no source code modifications. CI (DCO) passes.

Verdict

✅ Approve — this is a straightforward security-driven dependency bump with no breaking changes. Recommend merging.
