Charles Bochet 1e309369bc chore(deps): upgrade tar to v7, evict vulnerable tar@6.2.1 (CVE-2026-24842) (#21341)
## Summary

Removes all transitive **`tar@6.2.1`** from the dependency tree,
resolving [Dependabot alert
#400](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/security/dependabot/400)
([GHSA-34x7-hfp2-rc4v](https://github.com/isaacs/node-tar/security/advisories/GHSA-34x7-hfp2-rc4v)
/ CVE-2026-24842 — node-tar hardlink path traversal, high/8.2).

The alert had been dismissed as `no_bandwidth`, but `tar@6.2.1` was
still in the lockfile. I confirmed **6.2.1 is genuinely exploitable** by
running the advisory's PoC (the hardlink escaped the extraction dir to a
parent-directory file); `7.5.16` blocks it. There is **no patched 6.x
release** — the fix only exists in `7.5.7+`.

## Approach

Upgrade the build tooling that pulled tar v6 to the majors that depend
on tar v7, rather than forcing tar onto v6-era consumers:

| Package | Change | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| `node-gyp` | 10.2.0 / 7.1.2 / 9.4.1 → **12.4.0** | resolution |
| `cacache` | 18 → **20.0.4** | resolution |
| `make-fetch-happen` | → **15.0.6** | resolution |
| `mintlify` (twenty-docs) | `latest` → **^4.2.594**
(`@mintlify/previewing` → tar 7.5.15) | direct dep bump |
| `@electron/rebuild`, `@electron/node-gyp`, `pacote` → `tar` | →
**^7.5.16** | scoped resolution |

The last row covers the two subtrees with **no upstream tar-v7
release**: `@electron/rebuild` (+ electron's `node-gyp` fork) in
`twenty-companion`, and `pacote@11/15` via `zapier-platform-cli` in
`twenty-zapier`.

All `tar` now resolves to **7.5.13 / 7.5.15 / 7.5.16**; `node_modules`
verified free of tar v6.

## Validation done
- `yarn install` completes cleanly (constraints pass, only pre-existing
`enableScripts: false` + peer-dep warnings).
- Installed `node_modules` contains zero tar v6.

## Validation still needed before merge ⚠️
- The scoped overrides force tar v7 onto packages written for the v6
API. Resolution is consistent, but **runtime not exercised**
(`enableScripts: false` skips native builds at install). Please
validate:
  - `twenty-companion` electron `make` / native rebuild
  - `twenty-zapier` build/push
- If either breaks, drop the scoped overrides and accept those two
**dev/build-only** clusters as residual — they extract only trusted
archives at build time, so the CVE (which needs attacker-controlled
input) isn't reachable there.
- `mintlify` is pinned (not `latest`) because `.yarnrc.yml`'s
`npmMinimalAgeGate: 3d` quarantines the true latest. Pinning is arguably
healthier, but it's a deliberate behavior change.

## Note
twenty-server's own runtime tarball extraction
(`extract-tarball-securely.util.ts`) was already on patched tar **and**
rejects all hardlink/symlink entries — so this PR addresses the
remaining build-tooling exposure, not a live runtime hole.

Large `yarn.lock` churn is expected: the node-gyp/cacache major bumps
refresh npm-internals tree-wide.

Installation

Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.

Build an app

Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:

npx create-twenty-app my-app

Define objects, fields, and views as code:

import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty app:publish --private

See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.

Self-hosting

Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
