There is a newer version: 5.0.0.6962

Why is this an issue?
String.match() behaves the same way as RegExp.exec() when the regular expression does not include the global flag
g. While they work the same, RegExp.exec() can be slightly faster than String.match(). Therefore, it should be
preferred for better performance.
The rule reports an issue on a call to String.match() whenever it can be replaced with semantically equivalent
RegExp.exec().
'foo'.match(/bar/);

Rewrite the pattern matching from string.match(regex) to regex.exec(string).
/bar/.exec('foo');
