Security Vulnerability: Transitive dependency on [email protected]
Hello Team, Security scanners (like Dependabot and npm audit) are flagging a prototype pollution vulnerability in js-yaml. The patched version is 4.1.1 or higher. The latest version of codeceptjs (3.7.5) has transitive dependencies on two different vulnerable versions of js-yaml, which creates a conflict that cannot be automatically resolved.
Here is the dependency tree from npm ls js-yaml:
├─┬ [email protected]
│ ├─┬ @codeceptjs/[email protected]
│ │ └─┬ [email protected]
│ │ └─┬ [email protected]
│ │ └─┬ [email protected]
│ │ └─┬ @istanbuljs/[email protected]
│ │ └── [email protected] <-- VULNERABLE
│ └─┬ [email protected]
│ └── [email protected] deduped <-- VULNERABLE
└─┬ [email protected]
├─┬ @eslint/[email protected]
│ └── [email protected] deduped <-- VULNERABLE
└── [email protected] <-- VULNERABLE
This conflict (one path requiring ^3.x and another ^4.x) prevents npm audit fix or Dependabot from applying the security patch. The only way for users to fix this currently is to manually add an override or resolution for js-yaml in their package.json.
Could these dependencies be updated to consolidate on a patched version of js-yaml (4.1.1 or higher) to resolve this security vulnerability?
Thank you!
