Pull request overview
This PR modifies a GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA) to reclassify an ESLint stack overflow issue as not being a security vulnerability. The change reflects the position that stack overflow issues in developer tools like ESLint, which run on trusted input, should not be treated as security vulnerabilities.
Changes:
- Updated the advisory summary from describing a specific vulnerability to "Not a vulnerability"
- Removed the CWE-674 classification (Uncontrolled Recursion)
- Updated the modification timestamp

A possible stack overflow in eslint shouldn't be a security vulnerability. Eslint is running on trusted or semi trusted input, if it fails in this manor its not going to cause service outages, data leakages or remote access. By allowing 'security issues' like this into the database you are undermining trust in the database as a whole.
This should be getting reoported on eslint issues on their repo, not in the vulnerability db
