Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

  • plugins/user-settings/package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning
Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

This PR replaces workspace references (workspace:^) with fixed versions that appear to be quite outdated (0.1.0, 0.0.1, 0.1.1). In a Yarn workspace setup, this approach is problematic as it:

  1. Breaks the workspace linking mechanism that ensures compatible versions
  2. Introduces potentially incompatible package versions
  3. May not properly address the underlying vulnerability

Additionally, the PR description notes that the yarn.lock update failed, which is a red flag.

A better approach would be to:

  • Maintain the workspace references (workspace:^)
  • Address the vulnerability by updating the affected dependency in a way that preserves workspace integrity
  • Ensure the yarn.lock file is properly updated

Consider rejecting this PR and requesting a solution that doesn't compromise the workspace structure while still addressing the security vulnerability.

Next steps

What is a critical CVE?

Contains a Critical Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE).

Remove or replace dependencies that include known critical CVEs. Consumers can use dependency overrides or npm audit fix --force to remove vulnerable dependencies.

Take a deeper look at the dependency

Take a moment to review the security alert above. Review the linked package source code to understand the potential risk. Ensure the package is not malicious before proceeding. If you're unsure how to proceed, reach out to your security team or ask the Socket team for help at support [AT] socket [DOT] dev.

Remove the package

If you happen to install a dependency that Socket reports as Known Malware you should immediately remove it and select a different dependency. For other alert types, you may may wish to investigate alternative packages or consider if there are other ways to mitigate the specific risk posed by the dependency.

Mark a package as acceptable risk

To ignore an alert, reply with a comment starting with @SocketSecurity ignore followed by a space separated list of ecosystem/package-name@version specifiers. e.g. @SocketSecurity ignore npm/foo@1.0.0 or ignore all packages with @SocketSecurity ignore-all

  • @SocketSecurity ignore npm/jsonpath-plus@7.1.0
