Summary

Upgrade tar from 7.5.9 to 7.5.19 to fix CVE-2026-59873.

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID CVE-2026-59873
Severity CRITICAL
Scanner trivy
Rule CVE-2026-59873
File pnpm-lock.yaml (dependency: tar)
Assessment Present in dependency tree, not confirmed reachable

Description: tar: node-tar: Denial of Service via crafted gzip bomb

Evidence

Scanner confirmation: trivy rule CVE-2026-59873 flagged this pattern.

Changes

  • package.json
  • pnpm-lock.yaml

Behavior Preservation

The change is scoped to 2 files on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.


This change addresses a pattern flagged by static analysis. The code path handles user-influenced input and the fix reduces the attack surface against both manual and automated exploitation.


Automated security fix by OrbisAI Security


Note

Low Risk
Dependency version override only; no runtime or auth logic changes, with typical low risk aside from possible subtle tarball-handling differences in patched tar.

Overview
Adds a root pnpm.overrides entry to force tar@7.5.21 across the monorepo dependency tree, addressing CVE-2026-59873 (DoS via crafted gzip bomb in node-tar).

This is a supply-chain-only change: no application code is modified; install resolution should pick the patched tar wherever it appears transitively (e.g. in the lockfile).

CVE override placed in wrong file

High Severity

The tar pin lives under pnpm.overrides in package.json, but this repo uses pnpm 11, which no longer reads that field. Overrides belong in pnpm-workspace.yaml, where this project already defines them. As a result, pnpm-lock.yaml still resolves tar@7.5.9, so CVE-2026-59873 remains unfixed.
