@cyyynthia/tokenize fixed: 1.1.3 
npm install @cyyynthia/tokenize@1.1.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls @cyyynthia/tokenize

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-jcjx-c3j3-44pr, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @cyyynthia/tokenize

Note: The npm ls @cyyynthia/tokenize command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-613: Insufficient Session Expiration, where according to wasc, "insufficient session expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session ids for authorization.".

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact A bug introduced in version 1.1.0 made Tokenize generate faulty tokens with NaN as a generation date. As a result, tokens would not properly expire and remain valid regardless of the `lastTokenReset` field. ### Patches Version 1.1.3 contains a patch that'll invalidate these faulty tokens and make new ones behave as expected. ### Workarounds None. Tokens do not hold the necessary information to perform invalidation anymore. ### References PR #1 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [github.com/cyyynthia/tokenize](https://github.com/cyyynthia/tokenize) * Email us at [cynthia@cynthia.dev](mailto:cynthia@cynthia.dev)
