Issue

Closes #3461

Resolves the tar security advisories GHSA-w8wr-v893-vjvp (medium, fixed in 7.5.18) and GHSA-vmf3-w455-68vh (medium, fixed in 7.5.16) for the development dependency tree. It also resolves the ip-address advisories GHSA-mwp4-54f8-5fhr (high, fixed in 10.3.1) and GHSA-v2v4-37r5-5v8g (medium, fixed in 10.1.1) for the npm 11 copy. The npm 10 copy still bundles ip-address 10.1.0, because npm 10.9.9 is the latest 10.x release.

Approach

npm bundles its own dependencies, so the bundled tar can only change by changing the npm version. Lock-file-only update via npm update npm:

• node_modules/npm (required as npm ^10.5.0 by @semantic-release/npm 11 under @saithodev/semantic-release-backmerge): 10.9.8 → 10.9.9, bundled tar 7.5.11 → 7.5.22
• node_modules/@semantic-release/npm/node_modules/npm (required as npm ^11.6.2 by @semantic-release/npm 13.1.4): 11.12.1 → 11.20.0, bundled tar 7.5.11 → 7.5.22, ip-address 10.1.0 → 10.5.0, socks 2.8.7 → 2.8.9, plus other bundled npm dependencies

The top-level tar is already 7.5.22. All affected packages are development-only (release tooling).

Changes

• tar 7.5.12 – 7.5.15: Fixes for floating addFilesAsync rejections, raced symlink writes outside cwd, and hardlinks preempting their targets
• tar 7.5.16: No longer applies PAX header fields to meta entries (GHSA-vmf3-w455-68vh)
• tar 7.5.17: Terminates PAX strings on NUL bytes
• tar 7.5.18: Parses PAX values according to their known types and refuses negative header sizes (GHSA-w8wr-v893-vjvp)
• tar 7.5.19 – 7.5.22: Added a maxDecompressionRatio guard, disposes of unzip when aborting the parser, prevents unbounded recursion in list, and allows a falsy transform
• npm 10.9.9: Bundles tar 7.5.22 (deps: tar@7.5.22 npm/cli#9814)
• npm 11.13.0 – 11.20.0: Bundled dependency updates (tar 7.5.22, ip-address 10.5.0, socks 2.8.9, undici 6.28.0, semver 7.8.5 and others) and new opt-in features (allow-scripts, allow-git / allow-file / allow-directory / allow-remote, min-release-age-exclude, npm stage)

Breaking Changes

None. The npm bumps are patch and minor releases. The new npm 11 configs default to the previous behavior (allow-* default all, allow-scripts empty, install-strategy hoisted). npm 11.20.0 has the same engines.node range as 11.12.1. The release workflow's @semantic-release/npm runs the npm binary from the root node_modules/.bin, which is the npm 10.9.9 copy.

Code Changes Required

None. The upgrade is a drop-in replacement.

Tasks

No tasks apply; this PR only updates the lock file.

🚀 Thanks for opening this pull request! We appreciate your effort in improving the project. Please let us know once your pull request is ready for review.

Tip

• Keep pull requests small. Large PRs will be rejected. Break complex features into smaller, incremental PRs.
• Use Test Driven Development. Write failing tests before implementing functionality. Ensure tests pass.
• Group code into logical blocks. Add a short comment before each block to explain its purpose.
• We offer conceptual guidance. Coding is up to you. PRs must be merge-ready for human review.
• Our review focuses on concept, not quality. PRs with code issues will be rejected. Use an AI agent.
• Human review time is precious. Avoid review ping-pong. Inspect and test your AI-generated code.

Note

Please respond to review comments from AI agents just like you would to comments from a human reviewer. Let the reviewer resolve their own comments, unless they have reviewed and accepted your commit, or agreed with your explanation for why the feedback was incorrect.

Caution

Pull requests must be written using an AI agent with human supervision. Pull requests written entirely by a human will likely be rejected, because of lower code quality, higher review effort and the higher risk of introducing bugs. Please note that AI review comments on this pull request alone do not satisfy this requirement. Our CI and AI review are safeguards, not development tools. If many issues are flagged, rethink your development approach. Invest more effort in planning and design rather than using review cycles to fix low-quality code.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The lockfile updates nested npm from 11.12.1 to 11.20.0 and root npm from 10.9.8 to 10.9.9. It also refreshes bundled dependencies, including tar, and updates dependency requirements and Node.js engine ranges.
