Per-CVE Findings

🔴 CRITICAL

CVE-2024-21538 · NVD · GHSA-3xgq-45jj-v275

• CVSS v3: 9.8 — Critical
• Package: cross-spawn · Affected: < 7.0.5 · Installed: 7.0.3 · Fixed: 7.0.5
• Classification: Transitive · Path: jest-cli → jest-runner → cross-spawn
• Environment: Dev-only
• KEV Flag: No
• Vulnerability: ReDoS via crafted shell argument string; denial-of-service in long-running CI processes
• Upgrade Path: cross-spawn is not a direct dependency. Override in package.json:

  "overrides": { "cross-spawn": "^7.0.5" }
  

  Then run npm install. Verify with npm ls cross-spawn.
• Breaking Changes: None documented between 7.0.3 → 7.0.5 (patch release).

CVE-2025-29927 · NVD · GHSA-f82v-jwr5-mffw

• CVSS v3: 9.1 — Critical
• Package: next · Affected: < 14.2.25 || >=15.0.0 < 15.2.3 · Installed: 14.2.10 · Fixed: 14.2.25
• Classification: Direct · Production
• KEV Flag: ⚠️ CISA KEV — actively exploited in the wild
• Vulnerability: Middleware authorization bypass via x-middleware-subrequest header manipulation; unauthenticated access to protected routes
• Upgrade Path: npm install next@14.2.25
• Breaking Changes: No API-level breaking changes in this patch range; review custom middleware logic as an internal header-handling fix may affect edge cases with deeply nested subrequests.

CVE-2024-45813 · NVD · GHSA-952p-6rrq-rcjv

• CVSS v3: 9.0 — Critical
• Package: find-my-way · Affected: < 8.2.2 · Installed: 8.1.0 · Fixed: 8.2.2
• Classification: Transitive · Path: fastify → find-my-way
• Environment: Production
• KEV Flag: ⚠️ CISA KEV — actively exploited in the wild
• Vulnerability: Route parameter regex allows catastrophic backtracking; remote DoS via crafted URL path
• Upgrade Path: find-my-way is not directly installable in isolation from this path. Update fastify to ^4.28.1, which pulls find-my-way@8.2.2:

  npm install fastify@4.28.1
  

  Alternatively, add an override: "overrides": { "find-my-way": "^8.2.2" } and validate no route registration regressions.
• Breaking Changes: fastify 4.27 → 4.28 includes one deprecation of reply.sent in favor of reply.headerSent; not a removal, but emit a deprecation warning in tests.

🟠 HIGH

CVE-2024-55565 · NVD · GHSA-mwcw-c2x4-8c55

• CVSS v3: 7.5 — High
• Package: nanoid · Affected: < 3.3.8 · Installed: 3.3.6 · Fixed: 3.3.8
• Classification: Transitive · Path: vite → postcss → nanoid
• Environment: Dev-only
• KEV Flag: No
• Vulnerability: Predictable ID generation in certain character-set configurations; reduces entropy below acceptable thresholds
• Upgrade Path: Add override: "overrides": { "nanoid": "^3.3.8" } and run npm install.
• Breaking Changes: None documented (patch release).

CVE-2025-27789 · NVD · GHSA-v6h2-p8h4-qcjw

• CVSS v3: 7.3 — High
• Package: axios · Affected: < 1.7.9 · Installed: 1.6.8 · Fixed: 1.7.9
• Classification: Direct · Production
• KEV Flag: No
• Vulnerability: SSRF via malformed URL with embedded credentials; attacker-controlled request targets internal network endpoints
• Upgrade Path: npm install axios@1.7.9
• Breaking Changes: axios 1.6 → 1.7 deprecates the data shorthand on GET requests. Audit usages of axios.get(url, { data: ... }) — these will log a deprecation warning but still function.

Ready-to-Submit PR Body

## chore(deps): patch critical and high CVEs — security audit 2025-06-11

### Changes
- `next` 14.2.10 → **14.2.25** (CVE-2025-29927, CVSS 9.1, CISA KEV — middleware auth bypass)
- `fastify` 4.27.0 → **4.28.1** (CVE-2024-45813, CVSS 9.0, CISA KEV — route regex DoS via transitive `find-my-way`)
- `axios` 1.6.8 → **1.7.9** (CVE-2025-27789, CVSS 7.3 — SSRF via malformed URL)
- Added `overrides.cross-spawn ^7.0.5` (CVE-2024-21538, CVSS 9.8 — ReDoS in CI only)
- Added `overrides.nanoid ^3.3.8` (CVE-2024-55565, CVSS 7.5 — entropy reduction in dev tooling)

### Testing
- [ ] `npm run test:unit` green
- [ ] `npm run test:e2e` green against staging
- [ ] Confirm `npm ls find-my-way` resolves `8.2.2`
- [ ] Confirm `npm ls cross-spawn` resolves `7.0.5`
- [ ] Review any `reply.sent` deprecation warnings in fastify test output

### Notes
- `axios` 1.7 deprecates `GET` with `data` payload — no removal, monitor deprecation warnings
- Advisory presence does not confirm active exploitation in this codebase — CISA KEV flags indicate known in-the-wild exploitation generally
- `next` middleware edge-case review recommended for subrequest-heavy auth flows

No-Fix Queue — Monitor & Mitigate

CVE-2024-52798 · NVD · GHSA-rhx6-c78j-4q9w

• CVSS v3: 5.3 — Medium
• Package: path-to-regexp · Affected: 0.1.x (all) · Installed: 0.1.10 · Fixed: None — no patch available for the 0.1.x line
• Status: No-fix · Monitor
• Classification: Transitive · Path: express → path-to-regexp
• Vulnerability: ReDoS via backtracking on certain named parameter patterns
• Mitigation: (1) Validate and sanitize all incoming route strings at the application boundary before passing to Express handlers. (2) Monitor for path-to-regexp 0.2.x or an Express patch release that upgrades this dependency. (3) Consider rate-limiting on route-heavy endpoints as a defense-in-depth measure. Do not force-override to path-to-regexp@6.x — that version has a completely different API and is incompatible with Express 4.x internals.

CVE-2025-30208 · NVD · GHSA-x574-m823-4x7w

• CVSS v3: 4.3 — Medium
• Package: vite · Affected: < 6.2.4 · Installed: 5.4.2 · Fixed: 6.2.4 (major version bump required)
• Status: No direct patch on v5 line · Monitor
• Classification: Direct · Dev-only
• Vulnerability: Arbitrary file read via crafted /@fs/ URL; exploitable only if Vite dev server is exposed to untrusted networks
• Mitigation: (1) Ensure Vite dev server is bound to localhost only (server.host: false in vite.config.ts) — this eliminates the attack surface for this CVE in typical usage. (2) Do not expose dev server ports externally in CI or staging environments. (3) Track Vite 5.x for a backport patch; a v6 upgrade is available but constitutes a major-version change with significant config and plugin API differences — evaluate separately outside this security patch cycle.
