Advisories for Npm/Cookie package

cookie accepts cookie name, path, and domain with out of bounds characters

The cookie name could be used to set other fields of the cookie, resulting in an unexpected cookie value. For example, serialize("userName=<script>alert('XSS3')</script>; Max-Age=2592000; a", value) would result in "userName=<script>alert('XSS3')</script>; Max-Age=2592000; a=test", setting userName cookie to <script> and ignoring value. A similar escape can be used for path and domain, which could be abused to alter other fields of the cookie.
