Resolve Cve

Resolve a dependency CVE

Remediation flow for a dependency vulnerability. Pairs with analyze-dashboard-vuln (triage/verdict + issue drafting) — use that first if it's not yet confirmed the repo is affected. This skill assumes remediation is wanted.

Optional input: a CVE-XXXX-XXXXX id or a CVE issue URL. Without one, look up open CVE issues and ask which to resolve.

repo-specific (wazuh-dashboard-plugins): this repo has three independent plugins, each with its own package.json + yarn.lock: plugins/main, plugins/wazuh-core, plugins/wazuh-check-updates. There is no yarn osd bootstrap here (that's the wazuh-dashboard platform). Existing forced versions live in each plugin's resolutions block (e.g. plugins/main/package.json). Install/build/test run inside the Docker dev container (see CLAUDE.md).

Workflow

- [ ] 1. Identify the CVE (package, vulnerable range, safe version, severity)
- [ ] 2. Verify presence + reachability across the plugins
- [ ] 3. Remediate with the least-invasive strategy that works
- [ ] 4. Verify (install + tests + audit; vulnerable version gone)
- [ ] 5. Write a report to tmp/ and deliver via create-pr (prepare mode)

1. Identify

Read the CVE. If given an issue URL: gh issue view <url>. Extract: affected package, vulnerable version range, recommended safe version, severity, and the GHSA if present. If you cannot confirm whether the repo is truly affected, run analyze-dashboard-vuln to get the reachability verdict before changing code.

2. Verify presence + reachability

For each plugin, check the package is really installed and why:

for p in plugins/main plugins/wazuh-core plugins/wazuh-check-updates plugins/wazuh-ai-assistant; do
  echo "== $p =="
  grep -n '"<package>"' "$p/package.json" 2>/dev/null       # declared?
  grep -n '<package>@' "$p/yarn.lock" | head               # resolved versions
done
# dependency chain (run in the plugin dir, inside the container):
cd plugins/<plugin> && yarn why <package>

If every path is a devDependency / build-test tool (cypress, jest, etc.) or a non-runtime transitive, the repo is effectively not affected — prefer documenting that (via analyze-dashboard-vuln) over forcing a change. Remediate plugins where a runtime path pulls the vulnerable version.

3. Remediate (least invasive first)

Back up first: cp <plugin>/package.json <plugin>/package.json.bak and the same for yarn.lock. Work per affected plugin. Try strategies in order:

• A — Direct bump. If the package is declared in that plugin's package.json, set it to the safe version and re-run yarn in the plugin dir.
• B — Lockfile dedupe. If it's transitive, remove its entries from that plugin's yarn.lock and re-run yarn so it regenerates to a patched version.
• C — Parent bump. If a peer/parent constraint pins the old version, bump the parent dependency, then retry B.
• D — Scoped resolution (last resort). Add to that plugin's resolutions using the narrowest path ("**/<parent>/<package>": "<safe>"), never a global override. Document why and which chain required it.

Only change versions; never remove a required dependency; follow semver; never leave the repo in a broken state (restore the .bak files on failure).

4. Verify

repo-specific: run inside the Docker dev container. For each changed plugin:

cd plugins/<plugin> && yarn && yarn test:jest --runInBand

Then confirm the vulnerable version is gone (yarn why <package> / grep the lockfile) and check for new advisories (yarn npm audit / yarn audit).

If any source code was touched, also run the check-standards skill. Remove the .bak files once verification passes.

5. Report + deliver

Write a short report to tmp/cve-<id>.md (strategy used, per-plugin changes, dependency chain evidence, verification results — or, on failure, strategies tried and recommended manual steps).

repo-specific: ensure tmp/ is git-ignored before writing there.

Then invoke create-pr in its default prepare-and-hand-off mode. It applies the shared rules automatically:

• Base = the version branch the work started from (not always main).
• CVE issues usually live in internal-devel-requests → ## Description does not reference the issue, and no CHANGELOG entry. If the CVE issue is public, use Closes and add a CHANGELOG entry (under Fixed/Changed) linking the issue.
• Commits DCO-signed.

Suggested PR title: Fix <CVE-id>: bump <package> to <safe-version>.

Success criteria

1. No runtime path resolves the vulnerable version anymore.
2. yarn install and yarn test:jest pass for each changed plugin (in-container).
3. No new advisories introduced for the resolved package.
4. Report in tmp/, and a prepared PR (via create-pr) following repo conventions.
