FAQ

What if we aren’t vulnerable to this particular CVE? Do we still have to upgrade the package?

It’s still a good idea to upgrade the package if we can. With new code patterns and paths being introduced every day, we have no guarantee that we won’t later make ourselves vulnerable. Keeping packages up to date as a matter of due course is also good hygiene.

What if we’re not vulnerable and upgrading is going to be a lot of work?

In these cases it’s a good idea to list out the steps you took to confirm we are not vulnerable in this PR. The PR can then be closed and the corresponding Dependabot Alert should be dismissed with the triage steps included as a comment. Please get in touch with Team Application Security via #ask-security before dismissing any CRITICAL alerts.

This is a major version upgrade that requires substantial code refactoring. What should I do?

If the upgrade requires substantial refactoring then it is possible that we will miss the objectives we have outlined above. In these cases, you should add the dependabot-refactor-required label to this PR and ping #ask-security for further advice.
