site:docs.npmjs.com package.json overrides "." direct dependency nested override

💡 Result:

In npm, the overrides field in your root package.json allows you to replace a package in your dependency tree with a specific version or a different package entirely [1][2]. Direct Dependency Constraints: You cannot set an override for a package that you directly depend on unless the override spec matches your direct dependency spec exactly [1][3]. Attempting to override a direct dependency to a different version will result in an EOVERRIDE error [1][4]. To bypass this restriction or ensure consistency, you can use a reference to your direct dependency's spec by prefixing the package name with a '$' [1][4]. For example: { "dependencies": { "foo": "^1.0.0" }, "overrides": { "foo": "$foo" } } Nested Overrides: The overrides field supports nested definitions to target specific paths in your dependency tree [1][3]. You can define overrides at any arbitrary depth by nesting keys [5][6]. For example, to override foo to 1.0.0 only when it is a dependency of bar, which is in turn a dependency of baz: { "overrides": { "baz": { "bar": { "foo": "1.0.0" } } } } Important Considerations: - Root Level Only: Overrides are only considered in the root package.json file of your project [1][2]. Overrides defined in dependencies or workspaces are ignored [1][5]. - Specificity: You can target dependencies with specific version ranges in your override keys (e.g., "bar@2.0.0": { "foo": "1.0.0" }) to apply the change only when that specific version of the parent is present [3][6].

Security Misconfiguration

CWE: CWE-16

Use a global tar override.

The lockfile currently contains one tar copy at 7.5.21. However, "tar": { "tar": "7.5.21" } does not override tar itself and may not protect future dependency resolutions.

-    "tar": {
-      "tar": "7.5.21"
-    }
+    "tar": "7.5.21"

In `@client/package.json` around lines 52 - 53, Update the package override
configuration so the top-level tar dependency is globally forced to version
7.5.21, rather than nesting tar under a tar key. Preserve the existing version
and ensure the override applies to all transitive tar resolutions.
