@piotr-placzek All of those security warnings seem to be coming from karma (and one from standard-version), not pouchdb-authentication. I've just installed pouchdb-authentication and am not getting any of the security errors you explicitly listed, BUT, I am running into the same issue with #249, despite what was done in that PR. For some reason my package-lock.json thinks pouchdb-authentication still wants url-parse version 1.2.0.

UPDATE The PR referenced hasn't actually made it onto NPM yet, solved the issue by installing directly from github. See #249 (comment)

[uaru]

It is a year since the last message and the problem is not exactly solved - the corrections is still not in the NPM repository.

Maybe package.json in master needs version bump to 1.1.4? Because now it lists dependency on url-parse 1.4.3, but the version is still 1.1.3, which release still requires 1.2.0.

Of course there is workaround of installing from GitHub, but it should go to NPM...

[pavellzubkov]

i also use pouchdb for access to remote couchdb and now i refused using pouch auth cause high vulnerability. i use several function that use fetch request to couch server use native api for login,logout,session info,create user, change user password. code here
and need config pouchdb fetch for this works:

export function remoteDB(dbname) {
const globPouchOptions = {
  fetch: function(url, opts) {  
    opts.credentials = 'include'  // for coockie auth
    opts.headers.set('Authorization', `Bearer ${getJwtToken()}`) // for JwT auth
    return PouchDB.fetch(url, opts)
  },
  skip_setup: true
}
  return new PouchDB(dbAdr + '/' + dbname, globPouchOptions)
}

[SinanGabel]

It would be great if the packages could be aligned & updated with the ones in pouchdb/packages/node_modules, and for example that dependency to request is replaced by e.g. node-fetch.

"dependencies": {    "inherits": "2.0.3",    "pouchdb-ajax": "~6.4.0",    "pouchdb-binary-utils": "~6.4.0",    "pouchdb-promise": "~6.4.0",    "pouchdb-utils": "~6.4.0",    "url-join": "4.0.0",    "url-parse": "1.4.3"  }
