fix for #1133
To prevent security or runtime issues from unvalidated dynamic method lookup, we should ensure that:
parsersMap(not from the prototype chain).parsersMapis a function before invoking it.This can be addressed by replacing the direct dynamic call to
parsersMap[contentType], and ensuring with two checks:.hasOwnProperty(contentType)to confirm it is an own property,typeof parsersMap[contentType] === 'function'to confirm it resolves to a function.Alternatively, if
parsersMapis never reassigned, it would be even safer to create it as an object without a prototype (e.g.,Object.create(null)) or as aMap(but we cannot edit that from the current context). The best minimal fix given the context is to update the code inside the'end'handler function, from the assignment and use ofparseData, to ensure these checks are made before callingparseData. If validation fails, we can fall back tounknownParseras it currently does.
