Try bumping the parent package first (preferred over overrides) +### 6a. Determine the rule type -Before adding an override, check whether updating the **direct parent package** to a newer version would naturally pull in a fixed version of the vulnerable transitive dependency: +There are three types of rebase rules: -1. Run `npm view versions --json` to list available versions of the parent -2. Identify the **latest version compatible with the current major line** (e.g. if the parent is at `3.2.1`, find the latest `3.x`) -3. Check whether that newer parent version pulls in a fixed transitive dependency: - - Run `npm view @ dependencies --json` and check the version constraint for the vulnerable package - - If the constraint resolves to a version **at or above the patched version** from the version map → **bump the parent instead of adding an override** -4. If the parent is a **direct dependency** in `package.json`, update its version there -5. If the parent is itself transitive, walk up the chain and repeat the analysis for the next ancestor — keep going until you find a direct dependency that can be bumped, or determine that no bump in the chain resolves the vulnerability -6. After bumping, run `npm run prepare` and verify with `npm ls ` that the vulnerable version is gone +- **`.rebase/add/`** — for adding new keys (like `overrides` entries) to upstream JSON files. The add file is deep-merged over the upstream file using `jq -s '.[1] * .[0]'` (add file wins on conflicts). +- **`.rebase/override/`** — for overriding existing keys in upstream JSON files (like bumping a `devDependencies` version). Same deep merge mechanism. +- **`.rebase/replace/`** — for text-level find-and-replace in any file type (e.g. `Cargo.toml`). Each file is `.rebase/replace/.json` containing a JSON array of `{ "from": "...", "by": "..." }` objects. -**Why prefer parent bumps:** A parent version bump is cleaner than an override — it doesn't need maintenance and doesn't risk diverging from the dependency tree. Rebase rules are still needed until the next upstream rebase incorporates the change, but the bump is more likely to align with upstream's own dependency updates, making it easier to drop the rule later. Only fall back to overrides when no parent bump resolves the vulnerability (e.g. the parent hasn't released a fixed version yet, or the latest compatible parent still pulls in the vulnerable transitive). +The rule of thumb: +- Adding new `overrides` entries → use `.rebase/add/` +- Bumping an existing `dependencies`/`devDependencies` version → use `.rebase/override/` +- Modifying non-JSON files (Cargo.toml, etc.) → use `.rebase/replace/` -**Critical caveat — npm won't upgrade already-satisfying transitive deps:** Even if a newer parent version's constraint *allows* the patched version, `npm install` will not upgrade a transitive dependency that already satisfies the range in the existing lock file. For example, if `minimatch@10` requires `brace-expansion@^5.0.2` and the lock file already has `5.0.5`, bumping `minimatch` alone won't force npm to pick `5.0.7` — `5.0.5` already satisfies `^5.0.2`. In this case, after bumping the parent, you must either: -1. Delete `node_modules` and `package-lock.json` then run `npm install --ignore-scripts` for a fresh resolve, or -2. Add an override to pin the exact patched version (see override strategy above) +### 6b. Update or create rebase rule files -Always verify with `npm ls ` after bumping to confirm the patched version is actually installed. +For each modified `code/` file, update the corresponding rebase rule file. -#### 2c.

If it does, read it and add the new override entries into the existing `overrides` block. If it doesn't, create it with only the new entries. -3. Add a **parent-scoped override** in the relevant `package.json` for each parent that pulls in the vulnerable version (see override strategy above). If an `overrides` section already exists, merge into it. -4.
