OCPBUGS-115458: CVE-2026-84375 bump js-yaml to 3.15.2/4.3.2

[sg00dwin]

Analysis / Root cause:
CVE-2026-84375: js-yaml versions 3.0.0 to before 3.15.2 and 4.0.0 to before 4.3.2 allow
Denial of Service via YAML documents that use merge keys (<<) with aliased empty mappings.
The maxTotalMergeKeys rate limiter does not count empty-mapping merge sources, so a crafted
payload can cause unbounded CPU consumption while the limit is never reached.

Jira: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-115458

Solution description:
Bump the direct js-yaml dependency from ^3.15.0 to ^3.15.2 (patched). Add resolutions
entries to force all transitive v3 consumers (^3.9.0, ^3.10.0, ^3.13.1) to 3.15.2 and all
v4 consumers (^4.1.0, ^4.3.0) to 4.3.2. This ensures every copy of js-yaml in the
dependency tree - including nested copies under @kubernetes/client-node and @eslint/eslintrc

• is patched.

Test setup:
No special setup required.

Test cases:

• yarn install completes successfully
• Verify yarn.lock shows js-yaml 3.15.2 for all v3 consumers and 4.3.2 for all v4 consumers
• DoS PoC (500 aliased empty mappings via <<) is blocked by installed 3.15.2
• YAML editor and Helm catalog function correctly in a local dev environment against a live cluster

Additional info:

• CVE severity: Critical
• Affected component: openshift5/ose-console-rhel9
• Prior fix: OCPBUGS-98489 (CVE-2026-59869, PR #16760) bumped js-yaml to 3.15.0; this CVE
  was discovered after 3.15.0 shipped and requires a further patch bump to 3.15.2

Assisted by: Claude Code (Sonnet 4.6)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated the YAML parsing component’s supported version range to a newer compatible release.
  • This maintenance change keeps YAML-related processing aligned with the latest supported patch level while preserving existing functionality.

Walkthrough

The frontend package manifest updates the js-yaml dependency constraint from ^3.15.0 to ^3.15.2.

Changes

Dependency update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update js-yaml dependency frontend/package.json	The manifest changes the js-yaml dependency constraint to ^3.15.2.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1b31d

The dependency update still allows future 3.x versions instead of locking js-yaml to 3.15.2, which reduces reproducibility and does not meet the repository’s dependency-pinning requirement. Merge should wait for the exact pin or explicit policy acceptance.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description provides the root cause, solution, test setup, test cases, and additional context. It omits template sections for screenshots, browser conformance, and reviewers, but these are not critical for this dependency-only change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only frontend/package.json and frontend/yarn.lock. The code diff contains no Ginkgo test declarations or test-title changes. It only updates the js-yaml dependency and lockfile entries, so this check is not applicable.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only frontend/package.json and frontend/yarn.lock. The diff contains no Ginkgo test files or Ginkgo constructs such as It, BeforeEach, AfterEach, Eventually, or Consistently. Therefore, none of the specified test-quality failure conditions applies.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only frontend/package.json and frontend/yarn.lock. The diff adds no Ginkgo e2e tests or other tests. Therefore, the SNO multi-node compatibility check is not applicable.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only frontend/package.json and frontend/yarn.lock. The code change updates js-yaml versions. It adds no deployment manifest, operator, controller, replica, affinity, topology spread, node-selection, toleration, or PDB scheduling constraint. The topology-aware scheduling check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only frontend/package.json and frontend/yarn.lock. The manifest change updates js-yaml from ^3.15.0 to ^3.15.2, and no Go, OTE entry-point, suite-setup, or stdout-writing code changes. Therefore, the pull request does not introduce non-JSON stdout from an OTE binary.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only frontend/package.json and frontend/yarn.lock. The diff adds no Ginkgo e2e tests or other test files. Therefore, this check's IPv4 and external-connectivity test conditions do not apply.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

The parent-to-HEAD diff contains only frontend/package.json and frontend/yarn.lock changes. The diff updates js-yaml from 3.15.0 to 3.15.2 and related lockfile entries from 4.3.0 to 4.3.2. No added line contains weak-crypto algorithms, cryptographic code, or secret comparisons. The check has no failure condition to flag.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only frontend/package.json and frontend/yarn.lock. The changes update js-yaml versions and add no container or Kubernetes manifest fields. No added line introduces privileged: true, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, root execution, or allowPrivilegeEscalation: true.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only frontend/package.json and frontend/yarn.lock. The changes update js-yaml versions and checksums; they add no logging code or sensitive-data output. The stated check is not triggered.

Pin the direct js-yaml dependency exactly.

The lockfile resolves patched versions, but the caret range permits future 3.x versions after lockfile regeneration and does not comply with the supply-chain policy. Change the direct dependency to "js-yaml": "3.15.2".
