Description

Excalidraw and Mermaid's dependencies pin older Nano ID and lodash-es versions that npm audit fix cannot replace.

Try these overrides:

  • Nano ID under @nextcloud/excalidraw: 3.3.19.
  • Nano ID under @excalidraw/mermaid-to-excalidraw, including its nested copy: 5.1.16.
  • lodash-es: 4.18.1.

A local check reduced production audit findings from 12, including 2 high, to 5 moderate. The production build and 61 non-Redis integration tests passed.

Before merging, test both Mermaid entry points, diagram conversion, ID generation, and save/reload with existing boards. Check the published Excalidraw package too: lockfile changes won't replace code already bundled inside it.

The remaining findings belong to #1115/#1161. Remove the overrides once the parent packages include the fixes.
