Why

Security hardening for the open PER findings on percy-cli that can be fixed without changing behaviour.

• PER-8619: systeminformation 5.25.11 contains four command-injection CVEs (fsSize, versions, wifi, networkInterfaces). Not exploitable (@percy/monitoring only calls si.cpu()/si.mem()), but the patched release is a cheap non-breaking bump.
• PER-8618: POST /percy/snapshot?async combined with sync mode never registers the sync job, so handleSyncJob ran a pointless lookup and returned the misleading Missing snapshot ID.

What

• packages/monitoring/package.json + yarn.lock: systeminformation ^5.25.11 -> ^5.31.6 (resolves 5.33.16, single lockfile entry).
• packages/core/src/api.js: for ?async + sync mode, log a warning, skip the lookup, and return data.error = "Sync mode is not supported with the async parameter". Status code (200) and response shape are unchanged; the snapshot is still processed.
• packages/core/test/api.test.js: new spec for that path.

Not included: PER-8617 (base64 memory on large PNG upload; every fix changes limits or needs a streaming redesign) and PER-8620/8623/8624 (multi-day items).

Verification

• eslint clean on changed files (node:18 in Docker).
• monitoring tests: 39/40 pass; the one failure fails identically on 5.25.11 (Docker container-level assertion).
• The core spec could not run locally (Chrome fails under qemu emulation on this machine); relying on CI.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Snapshot requests that combine sync mode with the async parameter now return an error rather than proceeding with snapshot processing. The snapshot details are not fetched, and synchronous requests without the async parameter continue to use the registered snapshot job.
• Chores
  • Updated the monitoring package’s system-information support.

Walkthrough

When a snapshot request combines ?async with sync: true, the route returns an error and logs a warning. The monitoring package also updates its systeminformation dependency range.

Changes: Snapshot Async Handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Handle async requests in sync mode packages/core/src/api.js, packages/core/test/api.test.js	The route returns an error and logs a warning for async requests in sync mode. The test checks the response, confirms snapshot details are not fetched, and verifies that the snapshot promise remains pending until resolved.

Monitoring Dependency Update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update systeminformation range packages/monitoring/package.json	The dependency range changes from ^5.25.11 to ^5.31.6.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 340af

Async snapshot failures can become unhandled errors after the response is sent, so the rejection should be handled before merging.

Explanation

The title includes two Jira keys (PER-8619, PER-8618) and a plain-English description of both changes, so it meets the title requirement. It names the dependency bump and the sync+async snapshot warning, which match the changeset. The 'fix(security)' prefix matches the security-driven dependency bump.

PR: #2474 • Head: b9c5296 • Reviewers: fallback inline checklist (built-in code-review; no in-repo reviewers)

Summary

Bumps systeminformation to ^5.31.6 (resolves 5.33.16) in @percy/monitoring to pick up the four command-injection CVE fixes; lockfile regenerated, single entry changed.

Findings

No confirmed findings. Risks examined and cleared: (1) engines: 5.33.16 declares node >=10, compatible with the package's >=14; (2) cpu/mem API shape unchanged (checked on Node 14); (3) lockfile resolves 5.33.16, which the PR body states.

Claude Code PR Review

PR: #2474 • Head: d0e9532 • Reviewers: fallback inline checklist (built-in code-review on the delta; no applicable in-repo reviewers)

Continues the previous review, changes since b9c5296 (delta).

Summary

Adds a second fix to the PR: POST /percy/snapshot?async combined with sync mode now logs a warning, skips the pointless handleSyncJob lookup and returns an explicit data.error (PER-8618). Status 200 and the response shape are unchanged. Adds a spec. The systeminformation bump (PER-8619) is as reviewed before.

High	Security	Authentication/authorization checks present	N/A
High	Security	Input validation and sanitization	N/A
High	Security	No IDOR	N/A
High	Security	No SQL injection	N/A
High	Correctness	Logic is correct, handles edge cases	Pass	snapshotPromise[name] is only set after processing, so the old lookup under ?async always returned "Missing snapshot ID". No other consumer of that text or of handleSyncJob with ?async
High	Correctness	Error handling explicit	Pass
High	Correctness	No race conditions	N/A
Medium	Testing	New code has tests	Pass	New spec covers the async branch; the existing sync spec covers the else branch
Medium	Testing	Error paths tested	Pass
Medium	Testing	Existing tests pass	Pass	Linux and Windows @percy/core green. @percy/env job hung on "Install browser dependencies" (runner issue, package untouched)
Medium	Performance	No N+1 / unbounded fetch	N/A
Medium	Performance	Background jobs	N/A
Medium	Quality	Follows codebase patterns	Pass
Medium	Quality	Single concern	Pass	Security-hardening PR, two tickets
Low	Quality	Names, dead code	Pass
Low	Quality	Comments	Pass
Low	Quality	No unnecessary dependencies added	Pass

Findings

No confirmed findings. Low, optional: the response still carries success: true with data.error, so SDKs that only check success still treat it as success (intentional; a 400 would break setups where sync comes from global config).

Verdict: PASS

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Attach a rejection handler to async snapshot processing.

percy.snapshot() can reject after the async response is sent. The route does not await or handle that promise, so processing failures become unhandled rejections outside the API error boundary. Attach a logging handler while keeping the response immediate.

Suggested fix

       const isAsync = req.url.searchParams.has('async');
       const snapshot = percy.snapshot(req.body, snapshotPromise);
-      if (!isAsync) await snapshot;
+      if (!isAsync) await snapshot;
+      else snapshot.catch(error => logger('core:server').error(error));

Add an async-route test that rejects the controlled snapshot promise and asserts that the rejection is handled.

The added test resolves its controlled promise, so it does not exercise this failure path.
