Many dependencies have gone unmaintained and carry known CVEs. This upgrades the critical ones while preserving existing functionality.

Security fixes

Package Before After CVE / Issue
ejs ^2.6.1 ^3.1.10 Template injection RCE
axios ^0.18.1 ^1.13.5 SSRF + DoS via __proto__
prismjs ^1.16.0 ^1.30.0 XSS + ReDoS
simple-git ^1.107.0 ^3.27.0 RCE + command injection
electron ^7.2.4 ^22.3.27 libvpx heap buffer overflow
electron-updater ^4.2.0 ^6.8.3 Code signing bypass on Windows

Other updates

  • node-ssh ^6 → ^13, feed ^2 → ^4 (significantly outdated)
  • bluebird, gray-matter, moment, striptags — safe minor/patch bumps
  • markdown-it ^13 → ^14 (API-compatible)
  • vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder beta.2 → 2.1.1 (stable)
  • @types/markdown-it 0.0.7 → 14.1.2 (matches package major)

Code changes for breaking API changes

simple-git v3 merged the promise API into the main export — simple-git/promise subpath removed:

// before
import simpleGit, { SimpleGit } from 'simple-git/promise'
// after
import simpleGit, { SimpleGit } from 'simple-git'

node-ssh v13 changed to named export:

// before
import NodeSsh from 'node-ssh'
new NodeSsh()
// after
import { NodeSSH } from 'node-ssh'
new NodeSSH()

electron v22 removed the built-in remote module (deprecated since v12). Migrated to @electron/remote:

// background.ts — main process
import { initialize as initRemote, enable as enableRemote } from '@electron/remote/main'
initRemote()
// ...
win = new BrowserWindow({ webPreferences: { nodeIntegration: true, contextIsolation: false } })
enableRemote(win.webContents)

// renderer processes (main.ts, SourceFolderSetting.vue)
import { app as remoteApp, dialog as remoteDialog } from '@electron/remote'

contextIsolation: false is required to preserve the existing nodeIntegration: true + @electron/remote architecture; this was the Electron default prior to v12.

Added .yarnrc with ignore-engines true to handle a transitive dependency (@achrinza/node-ipc) that caps its engine constraint at Node 17.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

The cpu-features failure is a warning for an optional native dependency introduced by ssh2@1.x (a dependency of node-ssh@13.x). The key detail in the output is:

warning Error running install script for optional dependency: "...cpu-features

Since it's optional, yarn install completes successfully and the app works fine — ssh2 gracefully falls back to pure JavaScript when the native module can't be compiled.

This warning only appears on Windows machines without Visual Studio Build Tools / a C++ compiler. It has no impact on functionality. If you want to suppress it, installing Visual Studio Build Tools will allow the native module to compile.

No code changes are needed here.
