Comment 2 Product Security DevOps Team 2019-06-10 10:27:40 UTC

This CVE Bugzilla entry is for community support informational purposes only as it does not affect a package in a commercially supported Red Hat product. Refer to the dependent bugs for status of those individual community products.

Comment 4 Jason Shepherd 2021-03-28 21:33:07 UTC

Statement:

Red Hat Quay includes the parsejson library as a build time dependency. It's included by karma for testing, and is not used as runtime.
