Security Alerts

Fetch all open security alerts from S360/ADO, GitHub Dependabot, and npm audit. Merge into one fix plan, apply all fixes, verify build, commit, and create a PR. No user input required.

S360 service name for this repo: Power Apps App Deployment For local-only npm audit fixes without ADO/GitHub queries, use /fix-dependencies instead.


Step 1 — Gather alerts from all three sources (run in parallel)

1a — S360 / Component Governance ADO items

Run two queries in parallel — S360 alerts live in both area paths:

# Query 1 — PPBT Extensions area path
az boards query --wiql "
  SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title], [System.State], [System.Tags],
         [Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority], [System.ChangedDate]
  FROM WorkItems
  WHERE [System.AreaPath] UNDER 'OneCRM\Client\UnifiedClient\AppLifeCycle\PPBT Extensions'
    AND [System.State] NOT IN ('Closed', 'Resolved', 'Done')
    AND (
      [System.Tags] CONTAINS 'S360'
      OR [System.Tags] CONTAINS 'Component Governance'
      OR [System.Tags] CONTAINS 'SDL'
      OR [System.Title] CONTAINS 'CVE'
      OR [System.Title] CONTAINS 'GHSA'
    )
  ORDER BY [Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority] ASC
" --output json 2>&1

# Query 2 — Deployment Hub\Admin area path (where most S360 alerts are generated)
az boards query --wiql "
  SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title], [System.State], [System.Tags],
         [Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority], [System.ChangedDate]
  FROM WorkItems
  WHERE [System.AreaPath] UNDER 'OneCRM\Client\UnifiedClient\AppLifeCycle\Deployment Hub\Admin'
    AND [System.State] NOT IN ('Closed', 'Resolved', 'Done')
    AND (
      [System.Tags] CONTAINS 'S360'
      OR [System.Tags] CONTAINS 'Component Governance'
      OR [System.Tags] CONTAINS 'SDL'
      OR [System.Title] CONTAINS 'CVE'
      OR [System.Title] CONTAINS 'GHSA'
    )
  ORDER BY [Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority] ASC
" --output json 2>&1

Merge results from both queries, deduplicate by ID. Fetch full detail for each result to get required package version:

az boards work-item show --id <id> 2>&1

If ADO auth unavailable: note "S360 skipped — ADO auth unavailable" and continue.

S360 compliance versions take precedence over npm audit minimums — use the highest required version across all sources.

1b — GitHub Dependabot alerts

gh api repos/microsoft/powerplatform-build-tools/dependabot/alerts \
  --paginate \
  --jq '.[] | select(.state == "open") | {
    number: .number,
    severity: .security_advisory.severity,
    package: .dependency.package.name,
    vulnerable_range: .security_vulnerability.vulnerable_version_range,
    patched_version: .security_vulnerability.first_patched_version.identifier,
    manifest: .dependency.manifest_path,
    scope: .dependency.scope,
    ghsa: .security_advisory.ghsa_id
  }' 2>&1

If auth fails: run gh auth login --hostname github.com --git-protocol https --web (browser flow, no prompts) and retry once. If still fails, note "Dependabot skipped — GitHub auth unavailable" and continue.

1c — npm audit

npm audit --json 2>&1

1d — Map S360 CVE/GHSA ids to packages

Most [S360] items carry only a Component Governance alertId and no package name, and the Component Governance REST API is not reachable (_apis/governance/... returns 404). Resolve them against the GitHub Advisory DB instead — this reliably yields the package, the vulnerable range, and the real patched version:

# From a CVE id (as it appears in the S360 work item title)
gh api "/advisories?cve_id=CVE-2026-14257" \
  --jq '.[0] | "\(.ghsa_id) | \(.severity) | " + ([.vulnerabilities[]? | "\(.package.name) vuln=\(.vulnerable_version_range) patched=\(.first_patched_version)"] | join(" ;; "))'

# From a GHSA id
gh api /advisories/GHSA-5c6j-r48x-rmvq \
  --jq '"\(.severity) | " + ([.vulnerabilities[]? | "\(.package.name) patched=\(.first_patched_version)"] | join(" ;; "))'

Do this for every unmapped S360 item before declaring anything unresolvable.


Step 1e — Run the resolver script first

scripts/audit-overrides.js already does steps 2 and 3 mechanically: it reads npm audit, resolves every advisory against the Advisory DB, compares against each installed copy in the lock file, and reports exactly which ranges need to move.

node scripts/audit-overrides.js            # report only
node scripts/audit-overrides.js --write    # apply the safe override bumps

Use its output as the fix plan, then hand-fix only what it lists under Needs a human.

Check the existing range before editing package.json. Most alerts here are a stale lock file, not a too-low range — e.g. postcss at ^8.5.15 already permits the patched 8.5.25. For those, npm update is the entire fix and package.json should not be touched.


Step 2 — Build fix plan

Merge all three sources, deduplicate by package. Use the highest required version across sources.

Print the plan then immediately proceed to Step 3 — do not wait:

PackageCurrentFix ToStrategySourceADO Item
.........A/B/C/DS360/Dependabot/npm#id or —

Decision rules per vulnerability:

ConditionAction
patched_version existsFix it — any semver jump acceptable
inBundle: true, parent upgradeableUpgrade parent (Strategy B)
inBundle: true, no parent upgradePatch lock file (Strategy C)
patched_version: nullAccept risk, document
scope: development + low + no patchAccept risk

Known permanent accepted risk — skip: elliptic (GHSA-848j-6mx2-7j84) — dev-only, no patched version.

"No published fix" may just be feed lag. This machine resolves npm through the 1ES feed mirror (ms-feed-*.pkgs.visualstudio.com), which can trail the public registry by days. Before recording something as an accepted risk, cross-check against Dependabot — if Dependabot has opened a PR for a version npm view says does not exist, the fix is real and the mirror is simply behind. Say "not yet on our feed mirror", not "no fix exists", and let the Dependabot PR land it.


Step 3 — Apply fixes

Strategy A — npm override

npm view <pkg>@<version> version
# edit package.json overrides
npm install 2>&1
npm ls <pkg> 2>&1

Hard rules:

  • Never add "minimatch": "^3.x" flat override — infinite npm loop
  • ajv stays at ^6.x — v8 breaks ESLint
  • Do not change: nanoid, electron-to-chromium, @types/node overrides
  • Never add a flat override for a package installed across several major lines — it rewrites every copy and silently downgrades the other lines. brace-expansion is installed on the 1.x, 2.x and 5.x lines simultaneously; each needs its own nested override.

Strategy B — Direct dependency bump

Update package.json version, then npm install.

Strategy C — Lock file patch (inBundle: true)

node -e "
const l = require('./package-lock.json');
console.log(
  Object.keys(l.packages)
    .filter(k => k.endsWith('/<pkg>'))
    .map(k => k + ' -> ' + l.packages[k].version + ' inBundle:' + l.packages[k].inBundle)
    .join('\n')
);"

npm view <pkg>@<patched-version> dist.tarball dist.integrity --json

node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
const l = require('./package-lock.json');
Object.keys(l.packages)
  .filter(k => k.endsWith('/<pkg>'))
  .forEach(k => {
    l.packages[k].version = '<patched-version>';
    l.packages[k].resolved = '<tarball-url>';
    l.packages[k].integrity = '<integrity>';
  });
fs.writeFileSync('./package-lock.json', JSON.stringify(l, null, 2) + '\n');
"
npm install 2>&1

Step 4 — Verify

npm audit 2>&1
npm run ci 2>&1

Functional tests fail locally (require PA_BT_ORG_PASSWORD) — expected, not a blocker. If any other step fails, fix it and re-run before continuing. Do not commit a broken build.


Step 5 — Update ADO S360 items (only if Step 4 passes)

For each S360 ADO item whose package was fixed:

az boards work-item update --id <id> \
  --discussion "Fixed by upgrading <package> from <old> to <new>. npm audit clean." 2>&1

az boards work-item update --id <id> --state "Resolved" 2>&1

If the fix only partially satisfies S360 (e.g. patched CVE but higher version needed): add a comment, leave open, add to Follow-ups.

Skip if ADO auth unavailable.


Step 6 — Commit and PR (only if Step 4 passes)

git add package.json package-lock.json
git status
git commit -m "chore: fix dependency vulnerabilities"

Then run /create-pr to create the pull request.


Final Summary

  • Fixed: package, old → new, strategy, source (S360/Dependabot/npm audit)
  • S360 items closed: ADO ID, package, action taken
  • Accepted risk: package, GHSA ID, reason
  • Follow-ups: partial fixes, deferred items
