Charles Bochet be39702fd2 chore(security): bump protobufjs and esbuild to clear CVEs (#20876)
## Summary

A self-hoster reported that Trivy blocks the `twentycrm/twenty:v2.7.x`
image on three fixed-critical CVEs. The reachable risk is low (none of
the vulnerable code paths are exposed to attacker-controlled input in
our deployment), but the findings are real and easy to clear by bumping
the affected dependencies in their owning workspaces.

### CVE-2026-41242 — `protobufjs` < 7.5.5

Pulled transitively into the production image via
`@opentelemetry/sdk-node`, `@opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node`,
and `@grpc/grpc-js` → `@grpc/proto-loader`. Lockfile was on 7.5.3; this
matches dismissed dependabot alert #1009 (Critical 9.4).

**Fix:** add `protobufjs: ^7.5.5` as a direct dep of `twenty-server`
(the workspace that exercises it via the OpenTelemetry gRPC exporters)
and run `yarn dedupe protobufjs` to collapse the residual transitive
7.5.3 copy. Resolves to 7.6.0.

### CVE-2024-24790 and CVE-2025-68121 — Go stdlib in bundled binaries

Present in the Go-built `bin/esbuild` shipped by `@esbuild/<platform>`
packages. Two paths put esbuild into the production image:

1. `twenty-client-sdk` declares `esbuild` as a runtime dep (used by its
`./generate` entry point).
2. `twenty-server` had `@lingui/vite-plugin` in `dependencies`, which
pulls `@lingui/cli` as a runtime sub-dep, which bundles `esbuild@0.21.5`
nested under `node_modules/@lingui/cli/node_modules/esbuild/`.

**Fix:**
- Bump `twenty-client-sdk`'s `esbuild` from `^0.25.0` to `^0.27.3`
(resolves to 0.27.7, built with patched Go).
- Move `@lingui/vite-plugin` from `dependencies` to `devDependencies` in
`twenty-server`. The plugin is not imported by any source file — it was
misclassified.

### Verification

Ran `yarn workspaces focus --production twenty twenty-server
twenty-emails twenty-shared twenty-client-sdk` (the same command the
Dockerfile uses) and inventoried the resulting `node_modules`. After all
three changes:

- `node_modules/esbuild/` → **0.27.7 only** (Go-patched)
- `node_modules/protobufjs/` → **7.6.0 only** (CVE-patched)

No nested copies of either package remain in the production install.

### Follow-up worth tracking separately

`esbuild` should arguably not be in `twenty-client-sdk`'s `dependencies`
at all — only the `./generate` entry point uses it, and the server never
imports that entry. Moving it to optional `peerDependencies` would stop
shipping a Go binary into the production image entirely. Out of scope
for this PR.

## Test plan

- [x] `yarn install` succeeds; `protobufjs` and `esbuild` each resolve
to a single version in production focus
- [x] `nx build twenty-client-sdk` passes
- [x] `nx typecheck twenty-server` passes
- [x] `nx build twenty-server` passes
- [x] Production focus install confirmed clean (`node_modules/esbuild`
and `node_modules/protobufjs` both single-version, both patched)
- [ ] CI green
- [ ] Re-run Trivy against the resulting image; confirm the three CVEs
no longer appear

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.
