CVE-2022-39353

xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) `DOMParser` and `XMLSerializer` module. xmldom parses XML that is not well-formed because it contains multiple top level elements, and adds all root nodes to the `childNodes` collection of the `Document`, without reporting any error or throwing. This breaks the assumption that there is only a single root node in the tree, which led to issuance of CVE-2022-39299 as it is a potential issue for dependents. Update to @xmldom/xmldom@~0.7.7, @xmldom/xmldom@~0.8.4 (dist-tag latest) or @xmldom/xmldom@>=0.9.0-beta.4 (dist-tag next). As a workaround, please one of the following approaches depending on your use case: instead of searching for elements in the whole DOM, only search in the `documentElement`or reject a document with a document that has more then 1 `childNode`.

xmldom es un módulo `DOMParser` y `XMLSerializer` basado en el estándar W3C de JavaScript puro (XML DOM Level 2 Core). xmldom analiza XML que no está bien formado porque contiene múltiples elementos de nivel superior y agrega todos los nodos raíz a la colección `childNodes` del `Documento`, sin informar ningún error ni arrojar. Esto rompe la suposición de que solo hay un nodo raíz en el árbol, lo que llevó a la emisión de CVE-2022-39299, ya que es un problema potencial para los dependientes. Actualice a @xmldom/xmldom@~0.7.7, @xmldom/xmldom@~0.8.4 (dist-tag más reciente) o @xmldom/xmldom@>=0.9.0-beta.4 (dist-tag siguiente). Como workaround, utilice uno de los siguientes enfoques según su caso de uso: en lugar de buscar elementos en todo el DOM, solo busque en `documentElement` o rechace un documento con un documento que tenga más de 1 `childNode`.
