Summary

Resolves ActivityWatch/aw-webui#581 — addresses 16 of 42 audit advisories with npm audit fix (non-breaking changes only).

Before: 42 vulnerabilities (11 low, 16 moderate, 14 high, 1 critical)
After: 26 vulnerabilities (10 low, 10 moderate, 6 high, 0 critical)

Fixed (16 root advisories)

Package Severity Advisory
shell-quote 1.1.0–1.8.3 CRITICAL Newline injection via .op values
dompurify ≤3.4.10 moderate Multiple XSS bypass (IN_PLACE, hook pollution, etc.)
@babel/core ≤7.29.0 Arbitrary file read via sourceMappingURL
@babel/plugin-transform-modules-systemjs high Arbitrary code gen on malicious input
http-proxy-middleware 0.16.0–3.0.6 high CRLF injection, router bypass
path-to-regexp high ReDoS via sequential optional groups
ws 7.0.0–8.20.1 high Memory disclosure, memory exhaustion DoS
fast-uri ≤3.1.1 high Path traversal, host confusion
form-data 4.0.0–4.0.5 high CRLF injection in multipart field names
vite ≤6.4.2 high server.fs.deny bypass, NTLMv2 hash disclosure
brace-expansion moderate Zero-step sequence DoS, numeric range DoS
yaml 1.0.0–1.10.2 moderate Stack overflow via deeply nested YAML

Remaining 26 (5 root causes, all require breaking framework changes)

These are deferred because the suggested fixes would install incompatible major versions:

Package Severity Context Reason deferred
vue@2.x ReDoS (parseHTML) low Runtime Fix would change bootstrap-vue major version; Vue 2→3 migration is tracked separately
vue-template-compiler XSS moderate Build-time only Templates compiled at build time; not executed at runtime; fix would downgrade @vue/cli-plugin-*
cross-spawn in yorkie high Dev-only (git hooks) Fix would downgrade @vue/cli-plugin-eslint to 3.12.1
html-minifier in html-loader high Build-time only Fix would change html-loader major version
uuid in sockjs/webpack-dev-server moderate Dev server only Fix would install uuid@14.x (breaking major version)

The remaining dev-only and build-time vulnerabilities do not affect shipped production bundles.

Test plan

  • npm audit fix applied (non-breaking only — no --force)
  • npm run build passes after lockfile update
  • Reviewer: confirm CI passes

Ran `npm audit fix` (non-breaking) to resolve all auto-fixable advisories:

Fixed (16 vulnerabilities including 1 critical):
- shell-quote 1.1.0-1.8.3 [CRITICAL] — newline injection via .op values
- @babel/core <=7.29.0 — arbitrary file read via sourceMappingURL comment
- @babel/plugin-transform-modules-systemjs 7.12.0-7.29.0 — arbitrary code gen
- vite <=6.4.2 — server.fs.deny bypass, NTLMv2 hash disclosure
- http-proxy-middleware 0.16.0-3.0.6 — CRLF injection, router bypass
- path-to-regexp — ReDoS via sequential optional groups / multiple wildcards
- ws 7.0.0-8.20.1 — uninitialized memory disclosure, memory exhaustion DoS
- form-data 4.0.0-4.0.5 — CRLF injection in multipart field names
- fast-uri <=3.1.1 — path traversal and host confusion via percent-encoding
- dompurify <=3.4.10 — multiple XSS bypass advisories (IN_PLACE, hooks, etc.)
- brace-expansion — zero-step sequence DoS, numeric range DoS
- @babel/helpers — depends on above @babel/core fix
- yaml 1.0.0-1.10.2 — stack overflow via deeply nested YAML

Remaining 26 (5 root causes, all require breaking framework changes):
- vue@2.x [LOW] ReDoS in parseHTML — fix requires upgrading bootstrap-vue
- vue-template-compiler [MOD] XSS in compiler — build-time only, not shipped
- cross-spawn in yorkie [HIGH] ReDoS — dev-only git hook runner
- html-minifier in html-loader [HIGH] ReDoS — build tool only
- uuid in sockjs/webpack-dev-server [MOD] — dev server only, not shipped

Build verified: `npm run build` passes after the lockfile update.

This PR is the fix for the failing master Dependabot security update run 27806971087.

Root cause: master still locks webpack-dev-server at 5.2.4, while Dependabot requires 5.2.5 as the lowest patched version. This PR updates it to 5.2.5 and the CI matrix is green.

I tried to merge it directly, but GitHub denied MergePullRequest for TimeToBuildBob, so this needs a maintainer merge.

A corrupt state file containing "}" as the score (e.g. from a failed jq
capture where tail -1 picks up the closing brace of an empty object) bypasses
all numeric comparisons silently: `[ } -ge 5 ]` fails with 2>/dev/null
suppressed, `[ } -lt 4 ]` also fails, leaving the else branch to emit
greptile_needs_improvement with title "Greptile score: }/5".

Add a [0-9] regex guard after the empty/null check. On invalid score, wipe
the state file so the next sweep re-fetches from the API instead of serving
the corrupt cache forever.

Observed: ActivityWatch/aw-webui#893 dispatching greptile_needs_improvement
with score "}/5" despite having zero Greptile comments. State file at
/tmp/bob-project-monitoring-state/ActivityWatch-aw-webui-pr-893-greptile.state
contained "}:1783116079:adcf111d...".

CI is green — all 8 checks pass including Build vite (node-20), Build webpack (node-20), and both Test (node-20, py-3.9, aw-server*) matrix entries.

This resolves 16 of 42 npm audit advisories (including the 1 critical) with non-breaking dependency updates. The remaining 26 are blocked on major version changes (vue@3, framework-level upgrades) and are tracked separately.

Ready for maintainer merge. Bob (TimeToBuildBob) gets MergePullRequest denied by GitHub, so this needs an authorized maintainer (Erik or an org member) to land it.

Bump — this PR is still green (all 8 checks pass) and resolves 16 of 42 npm audit advisories including the 1 critical. Just needs a maintainer merge since TimeToBuildBob gets MergePullRequest denied by GitHub.
