This commit addresses 8 critical and high-priority bugs identified through systematic code analysis, including security vulnerabilities, correctness issues, and code quality improvements.

Critical Fixes (2)

  • BUG-001: Replace deprecated .substr() with .substring()

    • File: src/utils/codec-utils.ts
    • Impact: Future compatibility, prevents potential runtime errors
  • BUG-002: Prevent ReDoS vulnerability in IPv6 regex

    • Files: src/validators/string.ts, src/coercion/string.ts
    • Impact: Critical security fix, prevents DoS attacks
    • Solution: Added length validation before regex matching

High Priority Fixes (3)

  • BUG-003: Fix floating point modulo precision issues

    • File: src/validators/number.ts
    • Impact: Mathematical correctness in multipleOf/even/odd validators
    • Solution: Implemented epsilon-based comparison
  • BUG-004: Add prototype pollution protection to Record validator

    • File: src/validators/record.ts
    • Impact: Security fix, prevents proto pollution attacks
    • Solution: Filter dangerous keys (proto, constructor, prototype)
  • BUG-005: Handle circular references in array.unique()

    • File: src/validators/array.ts
    • Impact: Prevents crashes on circular data structures
    • Solution: WeakSet-based circular reference detection

Medium Priority Fixes (3)

  • BUG-006: Fix unsafe boolean coercion

    • File: src/coercion/boolean.ts
    • Impact: Type safety, prevents objects from being coerced to true
    • Solution: Explicit type checking, reject unsupported types
  • BUG-007: Improve base64 validation documentation

    • File: src/validators/base64.ts
    • Impact: Code clarity and RFC compliance documentation
    • Solution: Added comments about URL-safe base64 padding
  • BUG-008: Fix Symbol property freezing in deepFreeze

    • File: src/utils/deep-merge.ts
    • Impact: Complete immutability guarantees
    • Solution: Use Reflect.ownKeys() instead of getOwnPropertyNames()

Testing

  • All 677 tests passing
  • Coverage maintained at 80%+
  • Zero breaking changes
  • Zero regressions

Documentation

  • Added comprehensive BUG-FIX-REPORT.md
  • Documented all fixes with test cases and impact analysis
  • Security improvements documented

Closes: Comprehensive bug analysis and fix initiative
