Fix glob package vulnerability #1138

nemanjarogic · 2025-12-02T13:16:37Z

Fix glob package vulnerability by updating packages from which it is referenced (shelljs and mocha).

This only partially fixes the problem, since we depend on internal implementation of these packages and the newest version of mocha is based on glob 10.4.5. However, suggestion is to upgrade to 10.5.0, 11.1.0 or higher.

Additional explanation about changes made in PR:

node make.js test for /node directory for master branch (without any of mine changes) when running locally fails with the following error

node_modules/@types/node/buffer.d.ts(552,19): error TS2430: Interface 'Buffer' incorrectly extends interface 'Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>'.      
  The types of 'slice(...).buffer' are incompatible between these types.
    Type 'ArrayBufferLike' is not assignable to type 'ArrayBuffer'.
      Type 'SharedArrayBuffer' is not assignable to type 'ArrayBuffer'.
        Types of property '[Symbol.toStringTag]' are incompatible.
          Type '"SharedArrayBuffer"' is not assignable to type '"ArrayBuffer"'.

The mentioned problems are not the only ones, because consequent errors will be shown when errors above are fixed. Therefore, changes in this PR also fix testing infrastructure.

node/test/tsconfig.json

sanjuyadav24 · 2025-12-05T07:05:39Z

node/make.js

    process.env['TASKLIB_INPROC_UNITS'] = '1'; // export task-lib internals for internal unit testing
    set('+e'); // Don't throw an exception when tests fail
-    run('mocha ' + testPath);
+    run('npx mocha ' + testPath);


why add npx here?

Because without it I was getting
'mocha' is not recognized as an internal or external command

sanjuyadav24 · 2025-12-05T07:19:09Z

node/internal.ts

    }

-    _debug(name + '=' + varval);
+    if (!skipDebug) {


please add a comment why skipDebug is required here

this doesn't seem to be related to glob vulnerability fix, should this be part of separate repo?

I left that in PR description, but will leave it here since description will be modified (and this change is no longer needed since I managed to avoid es upgrade).

skipDebug parameter in node/internal.ts is introduced to avoid circular dependency and compilator error that happens while resolving debugMode field (debugMode -> getVariable() -> _debug() -> debugMode). With ES5 fields

const debugMode = _getVariable('system.debug')?.toLowerCase() === 'true'; const shouldCheckDebugMode = _getVariable('DistributedTask.Tasks.Node.SkipDebugLogsWhenDebugModeOff')?.toLowerCase() === 'true';

were converted to

var debugMode = ... var shouldCheckDebugMode = ...

However, with ES2020 that is no longer case and we have compilator error due to circular dependency.

P.S. Even if this works with ES5, I think we have bug here, because debugMode and shouldCheckDebugMode will always be falsy when this happens (they are not initialized).
