 Moment.js should be upgraded to the newest patch version (at least 2.29.4)
 to fix a CVE with base score 7.5 (high).

 Quote:

 moment is a JavaScript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating,
 and formatting dates. Affected versions of moment were found to use an
 inefficient parsing algorithm. Specifically using string-to-date parsing
 in moment (more specifically rfc2822 parsing, which is tried by default)
 has quadratic complexity on specific inputs. Users may notice a noticeable
 slowdown is observed with inputs above 10k characters. Users who pass
 user-provided strings without sanity length checks to moment constructor
 are vulnerable to (Re)DoS attacks. The problem is patched in 2.29.4, the
 patch can be applied to all affected versions with minimal tweaking. Users
 are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should consider limiting
 date lengths accepted from user input.

 I am reporting it here, because the CVE is already published. Also the
 form on HackerOne is too long.
