Description

I know it's a long-shot but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Is there any chance of backporting the fix to GHSA-8cw4-87c7-c6xx to v5? Based on the downloads in the last 7 days listed here https://www.npmjs.com/package/csv-parse?activeTab=versions v5 is still by far and away the most used version of the csv-parse library.
