High-severity vulnerability due to outdated 'Rollup' dependency

[its-anas]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have checked for existing issues https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues
• I have reviewed the documentation https://docs.sentry.io/
• I am using the latest SDK release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Which SDK are you using?

@sentry/nextjs

SDK Version

8.30.0

Framework Version

sentry/nextjs: 8.30.0, next: 14.2.12

Link to Sentry event

No response

Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install @sentry/nextjs@8.30.0.
2. An npm warning appears post-installation regarding the rollup dependency vulnerability flagged in the advisory GHSA-gcx4-mw62-g8wm.
3. Run npm ls rollup to check dependency versions.
4. Notice that @sentry/nextjs is pulling in rollup@2.78.0.

Expected Result

The latest version of @sentry/nextjs should use a non-vulnerable version of rollup, preferably >=3.29.5 or later.

Actual Result

@sentry/nextjs depends on rollup@2.78.0 through sub-dependencies, which is flagged by npm audit for a high-severity XSS vulnerability.

By adding the latest 'rollup' version (4.22.4) to "overrides" section of my package.json and resetting node_modules, I was able to resolve the npm audit warning related to the outdated rollup version:
However, I'm unsure if this approach might have any unintended side effects. It would be great to know if this is a safe interim fix or if a more comprehensive solution is needed.

This should be fixed by #13761!

#13761 updates the version on main but does not actually release @sentry/next, correct?

Btw - why is rollup in @sentry/next dependencies, rather than devDependencies? Any reason to ship it to consumers?

The npm vulnerability warning appears once @sentry/nextjs is installed or when you run npm audit in the project. I didn't have rollup installed before this; I only installed it temporarily and added it to overrides in order to temporarily resolve the vulnerability.

Why did Sentry use fixed dependency versions.
If you had used ^, we don't have to wait on Sentry released a version with the updated dependency or overrule a dependency.
My Sentry used rollup 3.29.4, and the fix was in 3.29.5.
With ^3.29.4 we had already a fix.
Now I add this ugly temporary fix in my project:

  "overrides": {
    "@sentry/nextjs": {
      "rollup": "^3.29.5"
    }
  }

@its-anas Whoops, my message was unclear - "your" referred to Sentry in this case - I'm a user, in the same boat as you. Edited the comment, sorry for the confusion.

Issue is fixed, rollup is upgraded to the minimum required version. Thanks guys.
