Later this week, I will update the dependencies to fix the many vulnerabilities.

Hi, @ptitjes just checking, are we still on track for this fix. I'm really looking forward to this fix. cheers

[ptitjes]

I tried to fix it some days ago. However the npm server was outputing errors while auditing. I'd be grateful if one of you would like to make a PR.

Thanks for clarifying. I'll give a try too and send a PR if it sticks.

Is it possible to get this pushed up to npm?

[ptitjes]

@stanlemon Yep, I'll do a release this weekend.

UPDATE: I thought this fix was released, but looks like it hasn't made it onto NPM yet. The latest version as of this writing (v1.1.3) doesn't include the fix from this PR. Adding the latest commit directly from github to my package.json didn't solve the issue, either, as the lib isn't included in the package.json. I found a fork (https://github.com/silverbackdan/pouchdb-authentication) that allows for installing the latest version. Below worked for me:

"pouchdb-authentication": "git+https://github.com/silverbackdan/pouchdb-authentication.git#c6e903693c1f"

I'm still getting a security warning, despite the update: my package-lock.json thinks pouchdb-authentication requires url-parse version 1.2.0. This is what the pouchdb-authentication section of my package-lock.json looks like:

    "pouchdb-authentication": {
      "version": "1.1.3",
      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/pouchdb-authentication/-/pouchdb-authentication-1.1.3.tgz",

      "requires": {
