Quick Reference
| Action | Rule |
|---|---|
| Fix direct deps | vuln-direct-deps.md |
| Fix transitive deps | vuln-transitive-deps.md |
Workflow
1. Assess
- Parse vulnerability report: package, version, CVE/CWE, severity, fixed version
- Categorize as direct (in package.json) or transitive (pulled in by another package)
2. Explore
- Check
package.jsonfor current versions and existing overrides - Check lockfile for actual resolved versions
- Search source code for direct usage of vulnerable package
- Check npm registry for available fixed versions:
npm view <package> versions --json
3. Fix
See rules for specific fix patterns.
4. Verify
bun i --yarn
bun run type:check
bun run lint
bun run build
bun run test
All must pass.
Tips
- Use exact versions for security fixes (no
^prefix) - Fix Critical/High severity first
- Replace unmaintained packages rather than patching
- Document workarounds with comments explaining why
