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.

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.
