Release Notes

ethers-io/ethers.js (ethers)

v5.8.0: ethers/v5.8.0 (2025-02-25 19:15) [legacy version]

Compare Source

This is a security update for the legacy Ethers v5 branch, addressing two security fixes.

• A bug in elliptic, which does not affect ethers but triggers a critical security warning during nom audit [see: missing signature length check, missing check for leading bit, allow BER-encoded signatures, false negative verification, signing malformed input]
• A bug in ws which can be used as DoS vector when communicating with malicious WebSocket service providers, triggering a high security warning during nom audit [see: too many HTTP headers]

For those that wish to audit the specific changes in the the bundled version between v5.7 and v5.8, see this gist.

Changes

• Updated to latest elliptic library to fix audit warnings. (f8deaae)
• Added ENS to Sepolia. (0065547)
• Bump ws package version to address DoS security concern. (#​4791; f345816)
• Added modern networks, updated third-party backend URLs and added QuickNode. (#​3935, #​4010; f7c813d)

What is obfuscated code?

Obfuscated files are intentionally packed to hide their behavior. This could be a sign of malware.

Packages should not obfuscate their code. Consider not using packages with obfuscated code.

Take a deeper look at the dependency

Take a moment to review the security alert above. Review the linked package source code to understand the potential risk. Ensure the package is not malicious before proceeding. If you're unsure how to proceed, reach out to your security team or ask the Socket team for help at support [AT] socket [DOT] dev.

Remove the package

If you happen to install a dependency that Socket reports as Known Malware you should immediately remove it and select a different dependency. For other alert types, you may may wish to investigate alternative packages or consider if there are other ways to mitigate the specific risk posed by the dependency.

Mark a package as acceptable risk

To ignore an alert, reply with a comment starting with @SocketSecurity ignore followed by a space separated list of ecosystem/package-name@version specifiers. e.g. @SocketSecurity ignore npm/foo@1.0.0 or ignore all packages with @SocketSecurity ignore-all

• @SocketSecurity ignore npm/@polkadot/util-crypto@13.4.3
