Summary

Brings the open Dependabot alert count from 22 down to 4 that are genuinely unfixable without breaking changes. Dismissed alert #316 (uuid) as tolerable_risk.

49 → 18 vulnerabilities in npm audit (all 18 remaining are unfixable — see below).

What changed

New overrides in package.json

Package Range fixed CVE / advisory
brace-expansion ≤1.1.17 → 1.1.18 GHSA-mh99 (DoS)
brace-expansion >=2.0.0 <3 → 2.1.4 GHSA-mh99 (DoS)
brace-expansion >=4.0.0 <5.0.9 → 5.0.9 GHSA-rgw5 (DoS)
dompurify → ^3.4.13 XSS/proto-pollution (via mermaid)
fast-uri → ^3.1.5 GHSA-429 host confusion
ip-address → ^10.3.1 GHSA-417/418/433 SSRF bypass
minimatch <3.1.4 → 3.1.4 GHSA-229 + ReDoS
minimatch >=9.0.0 <9.0.7 → 9.0.7 GHSA-233 ReDoS
picomatch → ^4.0.5 GHSA-259 method injection
postcss → ^8.5.23 GHSA-408/427 path traversal
socket.io-parser → ^4.2.7 GHSA-428 memory exhaustion

Updated overrides

  • js-yaml: ^4.2.0 → ^4.3.1 (quadratic CPU DoS in 4.0.0–4.3.0)
  • npm: ^11.17.0 → ^11.19.0 (latest, for npm-bundled dep improvements)
  • tar: ^7.5.16 → ^7.5.21 (uncontrolled recursion DoS ≤7.5.20)
  • undici: ^7.28.0 → ^7.29.0 (response desync, CRLF, cookie injection)

Direct dep bump

  • mermaid: ~11.16.0 → ~11.16.1 (fixes prototype pollution, CSS injection, XSS DoS, radar DoS)

Existing overrides checked — all still needed

All overrides added in June 2026 (ec7a38f) remain valid: they guard against transitive deps that still request older vulnerable ranges of @angular/compiler, @babel/core, esbuild, form-data, http-proxy-middleware, joi, piscina, tmp, webpack-dev-server, and ws.

Unfixable (4 alerts remain open)

Alert Reason
brace-expansion in node_modules/npm/node_modules/ npm CLI bundles its own deps; package.json overrides cannot reach inside node_modules/npm/node_modules/. Only fixable by npm publishing an updated CLI with patched bundled deps.
ip-address in node_modules/npm/node_modules/ Same — npm-bundled.
nx@21.4.1 in @nx-dotnet/core/node_modules/ @nx-dotnet/core@3.x depends on nx@21 internally; a forced nx@23 nested override would break it. Will resolve when @nx-dotnet/core@4 (nx@23+ support) is available.

Alert dismissed

  • feat(nx-adsp): shared AppLayout content gutter for vue-app #316 (uuid <11.1.1) — dismissed as tolerable_risk. This is a dev-only transitive dep via sockjs→webpack-dev-server. The vulnerability requires the optional buf parameter in v3/v5/v6 API calls; sockjs uses uuid for session-ID generation without a pre-allocated buffer. Upgrading from uuid 8.x to 11.x is a breaking API change that risks breaking sockjs.

Supersedes

Open Dependabot PRs #405 (fast-uri 3.1.5), #406 (socket.io-parser 4.2.7), and #415 (postcss + angular-devkit bump) are all superseded by this PR's overrides. They can be closed once this lands.

Test plan

  • nx run-many -t lint,test,build passes (all 5 packages, no regressions)
  • npm audit --audit-level=high output reviewed — all 18 remaining are confirmed unfixable via overrides

Brings the open alert count from 22 down to the 4 that are genuinely
unfixable (see below). Also dismissed alert #316 (uuid) as tolerable_risk.

New overrides added:
- brace-expansion <=1.1.17 → 1.1.18 (DoS — GHSA-mh99)
- brace-expansion >=2.0.0 <3 → 2.1.4 (same)
- brace-expansion >=4.0.0 <5.0.9 → 5.0.9 (DoS — GHSA-rgw5)
- dompurify → ^3.4.13 (via mermaid, multiple XSS/proto-pollution CVEs)
- fast-uri → ^3.1.5 (host confusion — GHSA-429)
- ip-address → ^10.3.1 (SSRF bypass — GHSA-417/418/433)
- minimatch@<3.1.4 → 3.1.4 (ReDoS — GHSA-229/new)
- minimatch@>=9.0.0 <9.0.7 → 9.0.7 (ReDoS — GHSA-233)
- picomatch → ^4.0.5 (method injection — GHSA-259)
- postcss → ^8.5.23 (path traversal — GHSA-408/427)
- socket.io-parser → ^4.2.7 (memory exhaustion — GHSA-428)

Updated overrides:
- js-yaml ^4.2.0 → ^4.3.1 (quadratic CPU DoS in 4.0.0–4.3.0)
- npm ^11.17.0 → ^11.19.0 (latest, improved bundled-dep fixes)
- tar ^7.5.16 → ^7.5.21 (uncontrolled recursion DoS <=7.5.20)
- undici ^7.28.0 → ^7.29.0 (response desync, CRLF, cookie injection)

Direct dep bump:
- mermaid ~11.16.0 → ~11.16.1 (fixes prototype pollution, CSS
  injection, XSS infinite-loop DoS, radar diagram DoS)

Unfixable (4 remaining high/moderate alerts, accepted):
- npm-bundled brace-expansion, ip-address, undici: inside the npm CLI
  tarball; package.json overrides cannot reach node_modules/npm/node_modules/
- @nx-dotnet/core nested nx@21.4.1 (nx graph CORS, zip-slip): @nx-dotnet
  v3 uses nx@21 APIs; a forced nx@23 nested override would break it.
  Will resolve when @nx-dotnet/core v4 (nx@23 support) is available.

Supersedes open Dependabot PRs #405 (fast-uri), #406 (socket.io-parser),
#415 (postcss + angular-devkit).

…gression

minimatch@3.1.4 introduced a regression in partial directory matching (matcher.match('src', true)
returns false for '**/*.ts') that breaks ESLint 9.x's deepFilter in flat config file traversal,
causing the lint executor to find no files. Scope the override to <3.1.5 -> 3.1.5 to skip the
broken version.

picomatch@>=4.0.0 <4.0.4 was the actual vulnerable range (GHSA-259). The previous global
'picomatch' override forced anymatch/micromatch from their required 2.x to 4.x, which has an
incompatible API. Scope the override so only 4.x instances below 4.0.4 are affected.
