Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to improper handling of the delimiter parsing logic. An attacker can cause unintended data splitting or joining by supplying a two-byte string of two single quotes as a delimiter, which is incorrectly mapped to a NUL character.
