I created a guide on what to do in case users encounter a CVE from a Cloud SDK dependency. I have the impression this is coming up more often now and users sometimes start to panic and ask us to fix the vulnerability, while they are able to fix it on their own. This should hopefully make it easier for us to guide them towards a solution and them to understand the steps that are needed.


If the fixed version falls within the SDK's declared semver range (i.e., no major version bump), you can update the vulnerable package in your own project:

Should we add instructions on other package managers than npm? I was thinking that if you use pnpm you probably don't need this guide. Also, AFAIK we only have instructions for npm everywhere else.

That's fair, but pnpm is actually notable here because for us dependabot routinely fails to handle security remediation PRs.
