Dependabot Alert Resolution

Step 1: Fetch all open alerts

REPO=$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner)
gh api "repos/${REPO}/dependabot/alerts" \
  --jq '.[] | select(.state == "open") | {
    number,
    dependency: .dependency.package.name,
    ecosystem: .dependency.package.ecosystem,
    manifest: .dependency.manifest_path,
    vulnerable_range: .security_vulnerability.vulnerable_version_range,
    patched_version: .security_vulnerability.first_patched_version.identifier,
    severity: .security_vulnerability.severity,
    summary: .security_advisory.summary
  }'

Step 2: Group alerts by manifest/lockfile

Group the alerts by their manifest field (e.g. js/app/bun.lock, rust/cloud-storage/Cargo.lock, js/app/packages/loro-mirror/pnpm-lock.yaml). This determines which override mechanism to use.

Step 3: Determine override strategy per manifest

For each manifest/lockfile, determine the correct override mechanism:

Lockfile	Override mechanism
bun.lock / bun.lockb	"overrides" in the nearest package.json
pnpm-lock.yaml	"pnpm": { "overrides": { ... } } in the workspace root package.json
package-lock.json	"overrides" in the nearest package.json
yarn.lock	"resolutions" in the nearest package.json
Cargo.lock	cargo update -p <package> or workspace [patch.crates-io] in Cargo.toml

Read each target package.json or Cargo.toml to check for existing overrides before adding new ones.

Step 4: Present the plan

Present a table of all alerts grouped by manifest, showing:

• Alert numbers
• Package name
• Current version (from lockfile)
• Patched version
• Severity
• Override mechanism to use

Ask the user to confirm before making changes.

Step 5: Apply fixes

For each group:

npm/bun/pnpm overrides

• Add override entries to the appropriate package.json
• Reinstall: bun install / pnpm install / npm install
• Verify: check the lockfile or <pm> ls for the patched version

Cargo

• Try cargo update -p <package> first
• If that doesn't reach the patched version, also try cargo update -p <parent-package> (the package that depends on the vulnerable one, found via cargo tree -i <package>)
• Verify with cargo tree -i <package> and checking Cargo.lock

Step 6: Verify

After all changes, confirm patched versions are in place and no new audit issues were introduced.

Notes

• Some alerts may be false positives (e.g. undici-types triggering undici alerts). Flag these to the user.
• Prefer minimal version bumps (e.g. >=6.14.0 not ^8.0.0) to reduce breakage risk.
• If a cargo update only bumps to a version below the patch, escalate the parent dependency.
