v4.5.3 - November 18th, 2019

Bugfixes:

  • fix: add "no-prototype-builtins" eslint-rule and fix all occurences - f7f05d7
  • fix: add more properties required to be enumerable - 1988878

Chores / Build:

  • fix: use !== 0 instead of != 0 - c02b05f
  • add chai and dirty-chai and sinon, for cleaner test-assertions and spies, deprecate old assertion-methods - 93e284e, 886ba86, 0817dad, 93516a0

Security:

  • The properties __proto__, __defineGetter__, __defineSetter__ and __lookupGetter__ have been added to the list of "properties that must be enumerable". If a property by that name is found and not enumerable on its parent, it will silently evaluate to undefined. This is done in both the compiled template and the "lookup"-helper. This will prevent new Remote-Code-Execution exploits that have been published recently.

Compatibility notes:

  • Due to the security-fixes. The semantics of the templates using __proto__, __defineGetter__, __defineSetter__ and __lookupGetter__ in the respect that those expression now return undefined rather than their actual value from the proto.
  • The semantics have not changed in cases where the properties are enumerable, as in:
{
  __proto__: 'some string'
}
  • The change may be breaking in that respect, but we still only increase the patch-version, because the incompatible use-cases are not intended, undocumented and far less important than fixing Remote-Code-Execution exploits on existing systems.

Commits

v4.3.1 - September 25th, 2019

Fixes:

  • do not break on precompiled templates from Handlebars >=4.0.0 <4.3.0 - 1266838, #1561
  • Ensure allowCallsToHelperMissing runtime option is optional in typings - 93444c5, 64ecb9e, #1560

Commits

v4.3.0 - September 24th, 2019

Fixes:

  • Security: Disallow calling "helperMissing" and "blockHelperMissing" directly - 2078c72
  • Disallow calling "helperMissing" and "blockHelperMissing" directly - 2078c72

Features:

  • Add new runtime option allowCallsToHelperMissing to allow calling blockHelperMissing and helperMissing.

Breaking changes:

Compatibility notes:

  • Compiler revision increased - 06b7224

    • This means that template compiled with versions prior to 4.3.0 will not work with runtimes >= 4.3.0 The increase was done because the "helperMissing" and "blockHelperMissing" are now moved from the helpers to the internal "container.hooks" object, so old templates will not be able to call them anymore. We suggest that you always recompile your templates with the latest compiler in your build pipelines.

  • Disallow calling "helperMissing" and "blockHelperMissing" directly - 2078c72

    • Calling "helperMissing" and "blockHelperMissing" directly from a template (like in {{blockHelperMissing}} was never intended and was part of the exploits that have been revealed early in 2019 (see #1495). It is also part of a new exploit that is not captured by the earlier fix. In order to harden Handlebars against such exploits, calling thos helpers is now not possible anymore. Overriding those helpers is still possible.
    • If you really need this behavior, you can set the runtime option allowCallsToHelperMissing to true and the calls will again be possible

Both bullet points imly that Handlebars is not 100% percent compatible to 4.2.0, despite the minor version bump.

We consider it more important to resolve a major security issue than to maintain 100% compatibility.

Commits

v4.2.1 - September 20th, 2019

Bugfixes:

  • The "browser" property in the package.json has been updated to use the common-js builds instead of the minified UMD - c55a7be, #1553

Compatibility notes:

  • No compatibility issues should arise

Commits

v4.2.0 - September 3rd, 2019

Chore/Test:

  • Use custom grunt-saucelab with current sauce-connect proxy - f119497
  • Add framework for various integration tests - f9cce4d
  • Add integration test for webpack - a57b682

Bugfixes:

Features:

  • #1540 - added "browser"-property to package.json, resolves #1102 (@ouijan)

Compatibility notes:

  • The new "browser"-property should not break anything, but you can never be sure. The integration test for webpack shows that it works, but if it doesn't please open an issue.

Commits

v4.1.2-0 - August 25th, 2019

#1540 - added browser to package.json, resolves #1102 (@ouijan)

Compatibility notes:

  • We are not sure if imports via webpack are still working, which is why this release is a pre-release

Commits

v4.1.2 - April 13th, 2019

Chore/Test:

  • #1515 - Port over linting and test for typings (@zimmi88)
  • chore: add missing typescript dependency, add package-lock.json - 594f1e3
  • test: remove safari from saucelabs - 871accc

Bugfixes:

  • fix: prevent RCE through the "lookup"-helper - cd38583

Compatibility notes:

Access to the constructor of a class thought {{lookup obj "constructor" }} is now prohibited. This closes a leak that only half closed in versions 4.0.13 and 4.1.0, but it is a slight incompatibility.

This kind of access is not the intended use of Handlebars and leads to the vulnerability described in #1495. We will not increase the major version, because such use is not intended or documented, and because of the potential impact of the issue (we fear that most people won't use a new major version and the issue may not be resolved on many systems).

Commits

v4.1.1 - March 16th, 2019

Bugfixes:

  • fix: add "runtime.d.ts" to allow "require('handlebars/runtime')" in TypeScript - 5cedd62

Refactorings:

  • replace "async" with "neo-async" - 048f2ce
  • use "substring"-function instead of "substr" - 445ae12

Compatibility notes:

  • This is a bugfix release. There are no breaking change and no new features.

Commits

v4.1.0 - February 7th, 2019

New Features

  • import TypeScript typings - 27ac1ee

Security fixes:

  • disallow access to the constructor in templates to prevent RCE - 42841c4, #1495

Housekeeping

  • chore: fix components/handlebars package.json and auto-update on release - bacd473
  • chore: Use node 10 to build handlebars - 78dd89c
  • chore/doc: Add more release docs - 6b87c21

Compatibility notes:

Access to class constructors (i.e. ({}).constructor) is now prohibited to prevent Remote Code Execution. This means that following construct will no work anymore:

class SomeClass {
}

SomeClass.staticProperty = 'static'

var template = Handlebars.compile('{{constructor.staticProperty}}');
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = template(new SomeClass());
// expected: 'static', but now this is empty.

This kind of access is not the intended use of Handlebars and leads to the vulnerability described in #1495. We will not increase the major version, because such use is not intended or documented, and because of the potential impact of the issue (we fear that most people won't use a new major version and the issue may not be resolved on many systems).

  • Fix escaping of non-javascript identifiers - 410141c
  • Fix location information for programs - 93faffa

Compatibility notes:

  • Depthed paths are now conditionally pushed on to the stack. If the helper uses the same context, then a new stack is not created. This leads to behavior that better matches expectations for helpers like if that do not seem to alter the context. Any instances of ../ in templates will need to be checked for the correct behavior under 4.0.0. In general templates will either reduce the number of ../ instances or leave them as is. See #1028.
  • The = character is now HTML escaped. This closes a potential exploit case when using unquoted attributes, i.e. <div foo={{bar}}>. In general it's recommended that attributes always be quoted when their values are generated from a mustache to avoid any potential exploit surfaces.
  • AST constructors have been dropped in favor of plain old javascript objects
  • The runtime version has been increased. Precompiled templates will need to use runtime of at least 4.0.0.

  • A JSON polyfill is required to run the compiler under IE8 and below. It's recommended that the precompiler be used in lieu of running the compiler on these legacy environments.

Commits

v2.0.0-alpha.1 - February 10th, 2014

Compatibility notes:

  • helperMissing helper no longer has the indexed name argument. Helper name is now available via options.name.
  • Precompiler output has changed, which breaks compatibility with prior versions of the runtime and precompiled output.
  • JavaScriptCompiler.compilerInfo now returns generic objects rather than javascript source.
  • AST changes
    • INTEGER -> NUMBER
    • Additional PartialNode hash parameter
    • New RawBlockNode type
  • Data frames now have a _parent field. This is internal but is enumerable for performance/compatibility reasons.

Compatibility notes:

  • The project now includes separate artifacts for AMD, CommonJS, and global objects.
    • AMD: Users may load the bundled handlebars.amd.js or handlebars.runtime.amd.js files or load individual modules directly. AMD users should also note that the handlebars object is exposed via the default field on the imported object. This gist provides some discussion of possible compatibility shims.
    • CommonJS/Node: Node loading occurs as normal via require
    • Globals: The handlebars.js and handlebars.runtime.js files should behave in the same manner as the v1.0.12 / 1.0.0 release.
  • Build artifacts have been removed from the repository. npm, components/handlebars.js, cdnjs, or the builds page should now be used as the source of built artifacts.
  • Context-stored helpers are now always passed the options hash. Previously no-argument helpers did not have this argument.

Commits

v1.0.12 / 1.0.0 - May 31 2013

  • #515 - Add node require extensions support (@jjclark1982)
  • #517 - Fix amd precompiler output with directories (@blessenm)
  • #433 - Add support for unicode ids
  • #469 - Add support for ? in ids
  • #534 - Protect from object prototype modifications
  • #519 - Fix partials with . name (@jamesgorrie)
  • #519 - Allow ID or strings in partial names
  • #437 - Require matching brace counts in escaped expressions
  • Merge passed partials and helpers with global namespace values
  • Add support for complex ids in @data references
  • Docs updates

Compatibility notes:

  • The parser is now stricter on {{{, requiring that the end token be }}}. Templates that do not follow this convention should add the additional brace value.
  • Code that relies on global the namespace being muted when custom helpers or partials are passed will need to explicitly pass an undefined value for any helpers that should not be available.
  • The compiler version has changed. Precompiled templates with 1.0.12 or higher must use the 1.0.0 or higher runtime.

Prior Versions

When upgrading from the Handlebars 0.9 series, be aware that the signature for passing custom helpers or partials to templates has changed.

Instead of:

template(context, helpers, partials, [data])

Use:

template(context, {helpers: helpers, partials: partials, data: data})
