Hi Adrianm
Thanks for contacting us for the support. I just notified our team of the outdated version of lodash. We will update it. It should be our next release

Hi,

We upgraded to PDFTron Webviewer version 8.4.1, does this contain an updated version of lodash?

HI Adrianm
I am already upgrading the lodash into 4.17.21 this time! It’s not yet in 8.4.1. It should in the new release version.
It’s like these are two potential vulnerabilities:

But don’t worry about the version we are currently using because we are not using any of those vulnerable functions inside WebViewer.
