[Aikido] Fix 9 security issues in lodash, uuid, @octokit/endpoint and 3 more

[aikido-autofix]

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

✅ Code not affected by breaking changes.

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

• lodash (4.17.21 => 4.18.1): The codebase only uses _.filter() and _.merge() methods. 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 directly used in the source code. It only appears as a transitive dependency through @actions/github.

• @octokit packages: The @actions/github package (v6.0.1) already depends on the newer versions of @octokit/endpoint (v9.x), @octokit/plugin-paginate-rest (v9.x), @octokit/request (v8.x), and @octokit/request-error (v5.x). The codebase doesn't pass custom HTTP agents or custom request options to Octokit, and doesn't use any deprecated endpoints. The action runs on Node.js 24, which satisfies all version requirements.

All upgrades are compatible with the current codebase.

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.

✅ 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 changes are applied via the root package.json (declared dependency version specs) and realized in package-lock.json; no workspace members are involved. Two targeted overrides entries handle transitive instances that have no fixing parent release.

lodash

lodash is a direct dependency in the root package.json. Its declared spec was raised from ^4.17.21 to ^4.18.1, resolving the lockfile entry from 4.17.21 to 4.18.1. The bump was necessary to satisfy the patched-version floor required by three CVEs affecting the 4.17.x line.

uuid

uuid appears as a transitive dependency via two parents. The instance pulled in by @actions/core was eliminated entirely by bumping @actions/core from ^1.10.0 to ^1.11.0, since 1.11.0 dropped its uuid dependency. The instance nested under aws-sdk (which exact-pins uuid at 8.0.0 and has no fixing release across its entire published history) was addressed with a scoped override "uuid@<11.1.1": "11.1.1", the minimum patched version, targeting only vulnerable instances.

undici

undici was introduced as a new transitive dependency when @actions/github was bumped to ^6.0.0 in the same remediation pass; @actions/github@6.x pulls in @actions/http-client@^2.2.x, which depends on undici@^5.25.4, resolving to the vulnerable 5.29.0. Bumping @actions/github further to ^7.0.0 brought in @actions/http-client@^3.0.1 (≥ 3.0.2), which depends on undici@^6.23.0, resolving to the patched 6.24.0. Because @actions/github@7.x also carries its own direct undici@^5.28.5 edge, a scoped override "undici@<6.24.0": "6.24.0" was added to force that remaining 5.x pin to the patched floor without globally affecting other consumers.

@octokit/endpoint

@octokit/endpoint is a transitive dependency pulled in by @octokit/request. The installed version 6.0.12 is below the patched floor of 9.0.6. Bumping @actions/github to ^7.0.0 caused @octokit/request to resolve to 8.4.1, which declares @octokit/endpoint@^9.0.0; npm then resolved @octokit/endpoint to 9.0.6, satisfying the patched-version requirement.

@octokit/plugin-paginate-rest

@octokit/plugin-paginate-rest is a transitive dependency of @actions/github. The installed version 2.21.3 is far below the patched floor of 9.2.2. Bumping @actions/github from ^4.0.0 to ^7.0.0 was required because @actions/github@6.0.0 is the first release that declares @octokit/plugin-paginate-rest@^9.0.0, and 7.0.0 pins it at ^9.2.2, allowing npm to resolve directly to the patched 9.2.2.

@octokit/request

@octokit/request is a transitive dependency shared by @actions/github, @octokit/core, and @octokit/graphql. The installed version 5.6.3 is below the patched floor of 8.4.1. Bumping @actions/github to ^7.0.0 pulled in @octokit/core@^5.0.1 and @octokit/graphql@^7.0.0, both of which declare @octokit/request@^8.x; npm resolved the single shared instance to 8.4.1.

@octokit/request-error

@octokit/request-error is a transitive dependency of @octokit/core and @octokit/request. The installed version 2.1.0 is below the patched floor of 5.1.1. The same parent-chain bump that fixed @octokit/request — raising @actions/github to ^7.0.0 and thereby pulling in @octokit/core@5.x and @octokit/request@8.4.1 — caused both parents to declare @octokit/request-error@^5.x, resolving to the patched 5.1.1.
