## 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
