🦉 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

[TheRedHatter]

This upgrade contains a major version jump for @nestjs/swagger which introduces significant breaking changes and requires a full framework migration. The bcrypt upgrade also includes an important environment change.

@nestjs/swagger 6.2.1 → 11.4.5 (HIGH RISK)

This is a very large upgrade spanning five major versions (v7 through v11). This is not a simple package update but requires a full application migration through several major versions of the NestJS framework itself. Each major version of @nestjs/swagger is tightly coupled with a major version of the @nestjs/core framework.

Key Breaking Changes Across Versions:

• Framework Rewrite (v7): The underlying engine for @nestjs/swagger was rewritten around v7 to use TypeScript's AST. This was a fundamental shift to reduce boilerplate and improve capabilities but introduced significant breaking changes to how DTOs and models are decorated. [8, 9]
• Core Framework Dependencies: Upgrading to 11.x requires upgrading the entire NestJS application to v11, which includes its own set of breaking changes related to modules like @nestjs/config, @nestjs/axios (replacing HttpModule), and platform-specific packages. [15, 16]
• Node.js Version: Newer versions of NestJS require newer versions of Node.js.

Recommendation: This upgrade cannot be handled as a minor change. A dedicated migration effort is required, following the official NestJS migration guides for each major version (v7, v8, v9, v10, v11). It is highly recommended to perform this migration incrementally in a separate branch.

bcrypt 5.1.0 → 6.0.0 (MEDIUM RISK)

This major version upgrade introduces an important environment-related breaking change.

• Node.js Support: Support for Node.js versions 16 and below has been dropped. Your environment must be running Node.js v18 or higher. [4]
• Build System: The package has switched from node-pre-gyp to prebuildify for handling pre-compiled binaries. [2, 6] This should be seamless for most users but may require verification in restrictive CI/CD or containerized environments that have specific rules for fetching dependencies.

No breaking changes to the core API (hash, compare, etc.) have been noted. [1, 7]
