It seems it will be not fixed in dicer: #22
If like me the vulnerability come from multer, a fix is on going: expressjs/multer#1097

[deepaljain]

In our case the vulnerability is coming from firebase-admin. Is there any fix available?

[kbocock-krg]

Need fix for this so Nestjs can be patched. Is there an eta?

[jitbasemartin]

This PR should fix NestJS: nestjs/nest#9686

Duplicate of my post on the same issue, elsewhere:

Preamble: I am a novice and this is not advice on what you should do - I'm just relaying what I did and what the outcome was.

After deploying my Vuejs3 app a week ago to Firebase, I was prompted to upgrade to the newest version of Firebase Tools (11.0.1) via npm. After doing this, I began experiencing the problem detailed in my comment above.

Having no other solutions on the table, I decided to uninstall firebase tools (npm uninstall -g firebase-tools) and then reinstall the previous version (npm install -g firebase-tools@10.9.2).

BUT, after first time I did this, I ran npm audit fix (not npm audit fix --force) and all I got a ton of high severity warnings and problems.

So I decided to once again uninstall firebase tools (npm uninstall -g firebase-tools) and then reinstall the previous version (npm install -g firebase-tools@10.9.2) and that's it (did NOT run npm audit fix).

I proceeded to npm run build and firebase deploy --only hosting and it worked just fine. Definitely NOT a great or long-term solution. Good luck!

Me too

Solution that worked for me was to add:
(In our case it's nest)

"overrides": {
    "@nestjs/platform-express": {
      "multer": "1.4.4-lts.1"
    }
  },

to package.json.
Though, it comes with a requirement of a minimum of npm 8.3.0. So we added that to the package.json as well. Also, please do delete package-lock.json and node_modules beforehand.

More on overrides

I have a dep chain apollo-server-express > apollo-server-core > @apollographql/graphql-upload-8-fork > busboy > dicer throwing this High severity vulnerability for dicer 0.3.0 (fixed dependency version in busboy 0.3.1, unfortunately).
Is there an estimated date for fixing this?

[RikuRuokonen]

I have dep chain that throws this: "graphql-upload": "11.0.0" --> busboy "^0.3.1" --> dicer "0.3.0"

Any update on this?

[mscdex]

@RikuRuokonen Lodge an issue with the graphql-upload project owners to update their busboy dependency.

[lorand-horvath]

@mscdex Well, I have raised an issue with apollo-server asking them to fix the busboy 0.3.1 dep vulnerability in Apollo Server 2.x apollographql/apollo-server#6590
The reply was to update to 3.x Please upgrade to AS3. AS4 is close to ready! AS2 ships with hardcoded integrations with many pieces of outdated and unmaintained software.
which I cannot personally do because it's in fact a dependency of @vue/cli - I posted an issue there as well and haven't got any response yet vuejs/vue-cli#7198
So I'm running in circles, I guess...

@RikuRuokonen You cannot open an issue with graphql-upload in this repo https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-upload because the function is disabled.
Unless we are talking about the original repo https://github.com/jaydenseric/graphql-upload

It works for me too, thanks!
