+# Dependency Audit — INS-010 | CC-047 | 2026-07-31
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**Project**: ceo-api (NestJS 11, Node 22)
+**Tool**: `npm audit`
+**Total dependencies**: ~450 (direct + transitive)
+
+| Severity | Count | Runtime | Dev-only |
+|----------|-------|---------|----------|
+| Critical | 0 | 0 | 0 |
+| High | 25 | 1 | 24 |
+| Moderate | 5 | 0 | 5 |
+
+---
+
+## Critical Production Finding
+
+### [HIGH — RUNTIME] drizzle-orm SQL Injection
+- **Advisory**: GHSA-gpj5-g38j-94v9
+- **Affected range**: `<0.45.2` (current: `0.36.4`)
+- **Fix**: Upgrade to `>=0.45.2`
+- **Status**: FACT — confirmed by `npm audit`
+- **Risk assessment**: MEDIUM-LOW for this project
+  - We use only the ORM builder API (no raw SQL with user-supplied identifiers)
+  - All identifiers (table/column names) come from the Drizzle schema constants
+  - The vulnerability affects `sql\`SELECT * FROM \${userInput}\`` patterns — not used
+- **Remediation**: Planned upgrade in CC-048/CC-049 cycle; requires testing for 0.36→0.45 breaking changes (drizzle-kit, schema API changes)
+- **Owner**: Engineering
+
+---
+
+## Dev-Only Findings (24 HIGH, 5 MODERATE — no production risk)
+
+All remaining vulnerabilities are in devDependencies not included in the production Docker image:
+
+| Package | Severity | Via | Production? |
+|---------|----------|-----|-------------|
+| jest / jest-circus / ts-jest | HIGH | @jest/transform → babel-plugin-istanbul | No |
+| @nestjs/cli | HIGH | fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin → minimatch | No |
+| drizzle-kit | MODERATE | @esbuild-kit/esm-loader | No |
+| js-yaml | HIGH | prototype pollution in merge | No (swagger dev only) |
+| lodash | HIGH | Code injection via `_.template` | No |
+| brace-expansion / minimatch | HIGH | DoS via unbounded expansion | No |
+| esbuild | MODERATE | dev server SSRF | No |
+
+**Verification**: Production Docker image uses `--omit=dev` → none of these packages are shipped.
+
+---
+
+## Outdated Major Versions (upgrade planned)
+
+| Package | Current | Latest | Risk |
+|---------|---------|--------|------|
+| drizzle-orm | 0.36.4 | 0.45.2 | HIGH — breaking API changes |
+| drizzle-kit | 0.28.1 | 0.31.10 | MEDIUM — migration tool |
+| @nestjs/swagger | 8.1.1 | 11.4.6 | HIGH — major version |
+| bullmq | 5.80.9 | 6.0.2 | MEDIUM — possible API changes |
+| @casl/ability | 6.8.1 | 7.0.1 | LOW — check for breaking changes |
+| @nestjs/schedule | 5.0.1 | 6.1.3 | LOW — just upgraded |
+
+**Recommendation**: Schedule a dedicated dependency upgrade sprint (CC-049 or separate task) rather than upgrading mid-feature cycle. Pin major versions until tested.
+

+
+## Residual Risk
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Accepted by |
+|------|-----------|--------|-------------|
+| drizzle-orm SQLi in ORM API usage | LOW (pattern not used) | HIGH (data breach) | Engineering — schedule upgrade |
+| Jest vuln exploited in CI | VERY LOW (dev env only) | MEDIUM | Engineering — accepted |
+
+---
+
+*Next review: before CC-049 (Livrare) or when any package reaches end-of-life.*
