Summary
Versions of `mem` prior to 4.0.0 are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The package fails to remove old values from the cache even after a value passes its `maxAge` property. This may allow attackers to exhaust the system's memory if they are able to abuse the application logging. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 4.0.0 or later.
