Security Scan

Resolve npm dependency vulnerabilities detected by Snyk.io security scans.

Activation Conditions

• User shares Snyk vulnerability reports
• Mentions CVEs/CWEs
• Asks to fix security issues in npm dependencies

Quick Reference

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.json for 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

Copybun 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

Rules

See rules/ directory for detailed guidance.
