fix: multiple build-critical npm dependencies are sp... in package.json

[orbisai0security]

Summary

Fix critical severity security issue in package.json.

Vulnerability

Field	Value
ID	V-001
Severity	CRITICAL
Scanner	multi_agent_ai
Rule	V-001
File	package.json:1

Description: Multiple build-critical npm dependencies are specified with caret (^) version ranges rather than exact pinned versions. Packages such as @swc/core (the JavaScript compiler), @rollup/plugin-commonjs, @rollup/plugin-node-resolve, @rollup/plugin-alias, and @rollup/plugin-json will automatically accept any compatible minor or patch update on the next npm install. These packages have deep access to the compilation pipeline and can directly influence the content of the final Vue.js core bundle. If any maintainer account for these packages is compromised — a realistic threat given historical npm account takeovers — a malicious update within the accepted semver range would be silently pulled into the build and could inject backdoor code into the Vue.js bundle distributed to millions of users.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request pins exact versions for five development dependencies by replacing caret (^) version constraints with fixed version specifiers in package.json. This prevents automatic upgrades within semantic versioning ranges for Rollup plugins and the SWC compiler.

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Dependency Version Pinning package.json	Replaces caret version constraints with exact pinned versions for @rollup/plugin-alias, @rollup/plugin-commonjs, @rollup/plugin-json, @rollup/plugin-node-resolve, and @swc/core in devDependencies.

Poem

🐰 Versions now locked, no surprises in sight,
With pins firmly set, everything's tight,
No caret dances to shuffle about,
Dependencies stable—of that there's no doubt! 📌

Thanks, but I don't think this should be merged as a security fix.

These dependencies are already locked by pnpm-lock.yaml with exact versions and integrity hashes, so normal CI/release installs should not automatically pick up newer semver-compatible versions. This is more of a dependency policy change than a concrete vulnerability fix, and the scope is also unclear since only a small subset of devDependencies is pinned.

[orbisai0security]

Thanks for the clarification, that makes sense. I agree this should not have been framed as a concrete security vulnerability, given that pnpm-lock.yaml already pins resolved versions and integrity hashes for normal CI/release installs.

The intent here was supply-chain hardening rather than fixing an exploitable issue. I also agree that the scope was too narrow since it only pinned a subset of devDependencies without establishing a broader dependency policy.

I’ll treat this as closed and won’t pursue it as a security fix. If useful in the future, I can open a separate discussion/proposal around dependency versioning policy, but only after checking how the release/CI install paths use the lockfile.
