[aikido-autofix]

Upgrade dependencies to fix critical RCE vulnerability in lodash template injection via options.imports and high-severity buffer overflow in uuid.

⚠️ Incomplete breaking changes analysis (2/6 analyzed)

⚠️ Breaking changes analysis not available for: @octokit/endpoint, @octokit/plugin-paginate-rest, @octokit/request, @octokit/request-error

✅ No breaking changes from the package upgrades affect this codebase:

lodash (4.17.21 => 4.18.1): The codebase only uses _.filter() and _.merge() methods (in src/gh.js). The breaking changes to _.unset(), _.omit(), and _.template() do not affect this code.

uuid (8.3.2 => 11.1.1): The uuid package is not used anywhere in the source code.

@octokit packages: These packages are used indirectly through @actions/github. The codebase uses github.getOctokit() without passing custom HTTP agents or request options, so the removal of Node.js Agent support and custom request options does not affect the code. The action runs on node24 runtime (Node.js 24), which satisfies all Node.js version requirements from the upgrades.

All breaking changes by upgrading lodash from version 4.17.21 to 4.18.1 (CHANGELOG)

Version	Description
4.18.0	_.unset / _.omit now block constructor and prototype as non-terminal path keys unconditionally. Calls that previously returned true and deleted the property now return false and leave the target untouched.
4.18.0	_.template now throws "Invalid imports option passed into _.template" when imports keys contain forbidden identifier characters, which were previously allowed.

All breaking changes by upgrading uuid from version 8.3.2 to 11.1.1 (CHANGELOG)

Version	Description
9.0.0	Drop Node.js 10.x support
9.0.0	Remove the minified UMD build from the package
9.0.0	Drop IE 11 and Safari 10 support, remove msCrypto fallback, and no longer transpile browser build to ES2015
10.0.0	Drop Node.js 12 and 14 support, add Node.js 20 (update node support matrix to only support node 16-20)
11.0.0	Refactor v1 internal state and options logic
11.0.0	Refactor v7 internal state and options logic
11.0.0	Port to TypeScript
11.0.0	Update node support matrix (only support node 16-20)

✅ 9 CVEs resolved by this upgrade, including 1 critical 🚨 CVE

This PR will resolve the following CVEs:

Issue	Severity	Description
CVE-2026-4800	🚨 CRITICAL	[lodash] A vulnerability in _.template allows arbitrary code execution through untrusted key names in options.imports or prototype pollution, as validation was incomplete after a prior CVE fix. An attacker can inject malicious code that executes during template compilation.
CVE-2025-13465	MEDIUM	[lodash] A prototype pollution vulnerability in _.unset and _.omit functions allows attackers to delete methods from global prototypes via crafted paths. While this prevents property overwriting, it can cause denial of service by removing critical functionality.
CVE-2026-2950	MEDIUM	[lodash] Prototype pollution vulnerability in _.unset and _.omit functions allows attackers to bypass previous fixes using array-wrapped path segments, enabling deletion of properties from built-in prototypes. While this doesn't allow overwriting prototype behavior, it can cause denial of service or unexpected application behavior.
CVE-2026-41907	HIGH	[uuid] A buffer overflow vulnerability allows v3, v5, and v6 UUID functions to write beyond caller-provided buffer boundaries when given small buffers or large offsets, causing silent data corruption. This can lead to memory corruption and potential code execution or information disclosure.
AIKIDO-2026-10892	MEDIUM	[uuid] UUID functions v3(), v5(), and v6() can write past the end of a caller-provided buffer due to missing offset validation, enabling buffer overflow attacks. The fix adds bounds checks to prevent out-of-range writes.
AIKIDO-2025-10094	LOW	[@octokit/endpoint] Improper header parsing for GraphQL endpoints allows attackers to craft malicious inputs triggering ReDoS through excessive regex backtracking, causing denial of service and performance degradation.
CVE-2025-25288	LOW	[@octokit/plugin-paginate-rest] A ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) vulnerability exists in the pagination iterator when processing malicious link headers, allowing attackers to cause denial of service through specially crafted requests.
CVE-2025-25290	LOW	[@octokit/request] A ReDoS vulnerability in the link header parsing regex allows attackers to cause excessive CPU usage and service unavailability through specially crafted HTTP responses. The unbounded regex pattern is susceptible to catastrophic backtracking when processing malicious input.
CVE-2025-25289	LOW	[@octokit/request-error] A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability in HTTP header processing allows attackers to cause excessive resource consumption and DoS by sending malformed authorization headers with long space sequences. This can significantly degrade performance or crash services.

🤖 Remediation details

Fix security vulnerabilities in lodash, uuid, undici, @octokit/endpoint, @octokit/plugin-paginate-rest, @octokit/request, and @octokit/request-error

Short summary

This PR remediates security vulnerabilities in seven npm packages: lodash, uuid, undici, @octokit/endpoint, @octokit/plugin-paginate-rest, @octokit/request, and @octokit/request-error. All fixes are applied via direct dependency version spec changes in the root package.json, with one targeted overrides entry for a case where no parent bump was possible. The package-lock.json is updated accordingly throughout.

lodash

lodash is a direct dependency declared in the root package.json. Its version spec was raised from ^4.17.21 to ^4.18.1, resolving it to 4.18.1 in the lockfile. This was necessary to satisfy the patched version floor required by three separate CVEs affecting the 4.x line.

uuid

uuid is a transitive dependency pulled in by aws-sdk, which exact-pins it at 8.0.0 — no published version of aws-sdk ships a fixed uuid. Because no parent bump was possible, a targeted override "uuid@<11.1.1": "11.1.1" was added to the root package.json. This forces the single nested instance (under aws-sdk) to resolve to 11.1.1, the minimum patched version, without globally overriding uuid for consumers that already resolve a safe version.

undici

undici is a transitive dependency introduced by the @actions/github → @actions/http-client chain. The installed version 5.29.0 is vulnerable; the fix requires undici ≥ 6.23.0, which is only declared by @actions/http-client ≥ 3.0.2, which in turn is only pulled in by @actions/core ≥ 2.0.0 and @actions/github ≥ 8.0.1. Both direct dependencies were bumped in package.json (@actions/core to ^2.0.0, @actions/github to ^8.0.1), causing undici to resolve to 6.25.0 and eliminating all five undici CVEs.

@octokit/endpoint

@octokit/endpoint is a transitive dependency. The installed version 6.0.12 is vulnerable; the fix requires ≥ 9.0.6. Bumping @actions/github to ^8.0.1 pulls in a new @octokit/core and @octokit/request lineage that declares @octokit/endpoint@^11.0.3, resolving it to 11.0.3 in the lockfile — well above the patched floor.

@octokit/plugin-paginate-rest

@octokit/plugin-paginate-rest is a transitive dependency pulled in by @actions/github. The installed version 2.21.3 is vulnerable; the fix requires ≥ 9.2.2. Bumping @actions/github to ^8.0.1 causes it to resolve to 14.0.0, satisfying the patched version requirement.

@octokit/request

@octokit/request is a transitive dependency. The installed version 5.6.3 is vulnerable; the fix requires ≥ 8.4.1. Bumping @actions/github to ^8.0.1 brings in an updated @octokit/core and @octokit/graphql that both declare @octokit/request@^10.0.x, resolving it to 10.0.9 in the lockfile.

@octokit/request-error

@octokit/request-error is a transitive dependency. The installed version 2.1.0 is vulnerable; the fix requires ≥ 5.1.1. Bumping @actions/github to ^8.0.1 pulls in @octokit/core, @octokit/request, and @actions/github itself all declaring @octokit/request-error@^7.x, resolving it to 7.1.0 in the lockfile.
